Explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing cyber threats and transforming the attack landscape in this 38-minute conference talk from NANOG. Examine the evolution of traditional attack vectors including DDoS, access control circumvention, and API exploitation as they become amplified through AI weaponization by increasingly organized threat actors. Discover how generative AI enables adversaries to automate reconnaissance, craft sophisticated phishing campaigns, and dynamically adapt attack strategies in real-time, rendering previously adequate defenses obsolete. Analyze real-world examples of AI-enabled compromises, including adaptive DDoS campaigns and API-targeted exploits, while learning how attackers leverage machine learning to bypass conventional security controls. Gain actionable insights for building network resilience without compromising uptime through strategies for integrating AI-powered detection systems, developing adaptive security playbooks, and fostering collaborative intelligence-sharing ecosystems that operate at machine speed. Understand the dual challenge of defending against both traditional threats and AI-driven escalation while aligning security strategies with business priorities to maintain operational continuity under pressure.
