Security News > 2024 > July > Offensive AI: The Sine Qua Non of Cybersecurity

The seemingly paradoxical solution to these growing threats is further development and research into more sophisticated offensive AI. Plato's adage, "Necessity is the mother of invention," is an apt characterization of cybersecurity today, where new AI-driven threats drive the innovation of more advanced security controls.

While developing more sophisticated offensive AI tools and techniques is far from morally commendable, it continues to emerge as an inescapable necessity.

The unfortunate reality is that bad actors are already leveraging offensive AI to innovate and deploy new threats.

Because of this, the future of cybersecurity lies in the further development of offensive AI. If you want to learn more about Offensive AI and gain hands-on experience in implementing it into penetration testing, I invite you to attend my upcoming workshop at SANS Network Security 2024: Offensive AI for Social Engineering and Deep Fake Development on September 7th in Las Vegas.

This workshop will be a great introduction to my new course, SEC535: Offensive AI - Attack Tools and Techniques, to be released at the beginning of 2025.

Foster owns the security consulting firm Fortisec and is an author for SANS Technology Institute, currently developing the new course SEC 535 Offensive Artificial Intelligence.
