AI vs. Cybersecurity: The New Frontline
In this eye-opening episode, host Tova Dvorin sits down with Tomer Bar, VP of Security Research at SafeBreach, and Shelly Zucker, Product Manager at SafeBreach, to unravel the alarming ways AI is transforming the cyber threat landscape—and what it means for defenders.
The conversation kicks off with jaw-dropping findings from Palo Alto Networks: AI-powered ransomware attacks that complete from breach to data theft in just 25 minutes, slashing attack timelines by 100x, and fueling forecasts of $57 billion in damages in 2025 alone. Pair that with an 890% surge in enterprise AI app usage, and it's clear: the attack surface has never been more exposed.
But this episode doesn’t stop at the headlines. Tomer and Shelly reveal how adversaries are leveraging generative AI to lower the bar for cybercrime, creating tailored malware with a simple prompt—no coding expertise required. From spyware that logs keystrokes and steals files to ransomware that evades half of today’s security tools on first try, they break down how traditional defenses are falling dangerously behind.
More importantly, you’ll hear how SafeBreach is turning the tables by building AI-generated malware scenarios—carefully crafted with the same techniques attackers use—so organizations can safely test if their defenses can withstand this new wave of threats.
Plus, get a tantalizing sneak peek at upcoming research that crosses the line from cyberspace to the physical world, showing how AI could manipulate smart homes with a single indirect prompt.
If you’re in cybersecurity, risk, or IT, this is an essential listen to understand why your current detection stack might not be enough—and how to prepare for the AI-enabled future.
