Former cybercriminal Brett Johnson argues that AI gives attackers a dangerous edge by changing the pace of cybercrime. The technology lets threat actors compress what used to be a longer, more manual process, giving them an advantage over defenders who are still working at traditional speeds.
According to Johnson, the most valuable role for AI is this time advantage. The core threat is not necessarily that AI makes attackers more clever, but that it makes them faster, allowing them to move through an attack before security teams can catch up.
