AI in Cybersecurity (Part 2): Offense

AI is no longer just a tool for cyber defense—it has become a powerful weapon for attackers, automating and scaling threats in ways we’ve never seen before. In this episode, I break down how offensive AI is reshaping cyber warfare, from deepfake-powered social engineering to AI-driven phishing campaigns that adapt in real time. We explore the rise of autonomous malware, where AI enables threats to evolve, evade detection, and spread with minimal human intervention. Attackers are also using AI to manipulate search engines, generate disinformation, and conduct large-scale cyber deception campaigns that erode trust in digital content.As AI continues to drive cyber threats, defensive strategies must evolve just as quickly. This episode unpacks how adversarial AI attacks target machine learning models, how attackers exploit supply chains using AI automation, and why traditional cybersecurity measures struggle to keep pace. We also discuss AI-powered evasion techniques that bypass anomaly detection and what organizations can do to defend against these threats. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, an AI enthusiast, or just someone concerned about the future of digital security, this episode will give you a clear picture of the offensive AI landscape and what’s coming next.Find out more at baremetalcyber.com
