Cybersecurity firm Exabeam expects, similar to much of what we’ve already discussed, highly enhanced and empowered cybercriminals, leading to new types of attacks and increasing exploitation.
Steve Povolny, one of Exabeam’s co-founders, said that, in 2025, “AI will democratize malware creation.”
“You won’t need to be a coder to create sophisticated malware in 2025 — AI will do it for you. Generative AI models trained specifically to generate malicious code will emerge in underground markets, making it possible for anyone with access to deploy ransomware, spyware and other types of malware with little effort,” he said.
“Blindly trusting AI-generated outputs will become a major vulnerability for organizations. This will lead to the rise of a new cybersecurity mandate: ‘Zero Trust for AI.’ Unlike traditional Zero Trust principles, Zero Trust for AI is not a prediction for the future; it’s a concept ready for discussion now, bringing a nuanced approach to trusting AI. This framework will require organizations to verify, validate and fact-check AI outputs before allowing them to drive critical security decisions.”
