Security News > 2023 > February > ChatGPT is bringing advancements and challenges for cybersecurity

Leveraging these mechanics and 5 large language models, ChatGPT can translate the human language into dynamic and useful machine results.

As with any new technology, ChatGPT can be used for both good and bad - and this has major implications for the world of cybersecurity.

ChatGPT has been shown to help write code, identify gaps in knowledge and prepare communications - tasks that enable professionals to perform their daily job responsibilities much more efficiently.

In theory, ChatGPT and similar AI models should help close the cybersecurity talent shortage by making individual security professionals significantly more effective - so much so that with AI, one person will be able to accomplish the same output as multiple individuals before.

Cybersecurity professionals and businesses aren't the only parties that can benefit from ChatGPT and similar AI models - cybercriminals can, too.

Last but certainly not least, ChatGPT lowers the barrier to entry for threat actors, enabling even those with limited cybersecurity background and technical skills to carry out a successful attack.
