Israel has recently experienced two significant cyberattacks that paralyzed payment-clearing systems for several hours. These Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become a hallmark of organized cyberattack campaigns against Israel. With the advancement of AI and the (Gen) AI revolution, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and precise. AI tools extend the attack surface and create new attack vectors, challenging the industry. The future of cyberattacks involves personalized tailor-made attacks, with AI supporting and automating the full lifecycle of the attack. However, defense systems are also evolving, with new cybersecurity solutions embedding AI capabilities to filter out false alerts and enhance the work of cyberanalysts. The potential of AI in cyber defense is vast, with the possibility of a real-time language learning model supporting a true Intrusion Blocking System.
