AI and Cybersecurity: A Double-Edged Sword
As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, ethical hackers are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead of malicious actors. One of the most promising innovations in this field is AI-driven ethical hacking, which uses artificial intelligence to enhance penetration testing, threat detection, and vulnerability assessment. This session will explore how AI is transforming the ethical hacking landscape, focusing on the tools and techniques that empower ethical hackers to work smarter and more efficiently.
We will begin by examining how AI-driven ethical hacking helps ethical hackers by automating time-consuming tasks such as vulnerability scanning and exploit development, allowing them to focus on more complex, high-level analysis. We will also address a common myth that AI will replace ethical hackers, discussing how AI acts as a complementary tool that enhances human expertise rather than replacing it.
Finally, we will dive into ChatGPT-powered AI tools for ethical hackers, highlighting the role of advanced language models and AI-driven platforms in assisting ethical hackers with reconnaissance, research, and even generating exploit code. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how AI tools can support their ethical hacking workflows, improve efficiency, and address challenges in cybersecurity.
By the end of the session, participants will have a clear view of the synergy between AI and ethical hacking.
