Do proof of concepts like BlackMamba open up an entire new threat category that leaves organizations defenseless without radically new tools and approaches to cybersecurity? Or is “the AI threat” over-hyped and just another development in attacker TTPs like any other, that we can and will adapt to within our current understanding and frameworks?įears around the capabilities of AI-generated software have also led to wider concerns over whether AI technology itself poses a threat and, if so, how society at large should respond.

The claims associated with this kind of AI-powered tool have raised questions about how well current security solutions are equipped to deal with it. The latest of these attempts, dubbed BlackMamba by its creators, uses generative AI to generate polymorphic malware. Since the emergence of ChatGPT late last year, there have been numerous attempts to see if attackers could harness this or other large language models (LLMs).

Artificial Intelligence has been at the heart of SentinelOne’s approach to cybersecurity since its inception, but as we know, security is always an arms race between attackers and defenders.
