AI-Assisted Cyberattacks: The Rise of Vibe Hacking and Its Impact on Enterprise Security
Generative AI is lowering the barrier for cyberattacks by enabling less skilled attackers to perform complex operations through natural language interaction with AI, necessitating continuous validation of security controls. The article highlights the shift from attacker sophistication to AI-assisted techniques, requiring enterprises to prioritize real-time threat exposure management over traditional vulnerability scanning.
The cybersecurity industry has spent decades assuming that offensive capability scales with technical expertise.
That assumption is starting to break.
Security teams have long estimated risk by ranking attacker sophistication. Nation-state actors sat at one end. Organized criminal groups followed. Inexperienced attackers, dismissed as "script kiddies," sat at the other end, running public
