Future trends in exploitation techniques
As technology evolves, so do the methods and techniques used by cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Understanding these future trends is crucial for staying ahead in the cybersecurity landscape. Here are some anticipated future trends in exploitation techniques:
- Increased use of artificial intelligence and machine learning: Attackers are increasingly leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to automate discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities. Key trends include the following:
- Automated vulnerability detection: AI-driven tools that can rapidly scan and identify vulnerabilities in systems and applications. Automated vulnerability detection tools, such as DeepLocker, are already demonstrating the potential of AI in crafting sophisticated attacks.
- Adaptive malware: Malware can change its behavior based on the environment it finds itself in, making it harder to detect and counter.
- Deep learning for phishing: Using AI to craft more convincing...
