The SOC Doesn't Need to Start Over with Every Alert

Security leaders are discussing the potential for AI to create new types of cyberattacks. However, a more immediate and subtle impact of AI is that it has made it easier for attackers to retry failed attacks at a lower cost. For instance, if an attacker gains access to a low-privilege cloud account and their initial attempt at privilege escalation is unsuccessful, AI can help them quickly retry without incurring significant costs or time spent on documentation. This development has changed the dynamics of cyberattacks, making it easier for attackers to persist in their efforts. The cost and time required to retry a failed attack have decreased, allowing attackers to be more relentless in their pursuits.
