NSA says cybersecurity will gain many benefits with generative AI


Will the use of generative AI in Cybersecurity help countries and nations combat threats in cyber wars? The NSA thinks so.

Global cybercriminal groups have been on the offensive for years, but Rob Joyce, director of cybersecurity at the US NSA agency, told attendees at the Fordham University event in New York that generative AI is “absolutely making us better at finding malicious activity,” and he outlined the key benefits of the technology for use within security personnel. Over the past year, generative AI has enabled bad actors to have the ability to launch a barrage of powerful and personalized social engineered attacks upon the online community at large. In the cybersecurity conference, Joyce cites examples and use cases to show how to combat the threats of those who hide on the internet to cause harm, all the while posing as safe accounts.
