CSET’s Andrew Lohn shared his expert perspective in an op-ed published by The National Interest. In the piece, he explains that AI-assisted hacking signals a deeper cybersecurity threat: not new tools, but the breakdown of core defenses like defense in depth against adaptive, large-scale attackers.
Reflecting on the implications of AI-driven cyberattacks, Lohn writes, “Although AI-enabled attacks use familiar techniques, their ability to rapidly adapt after failure shifts the balance between attackers and defenders. Organizations must rethink cybersecurity by combining blocking and detection across multiple layers to withstand AI-driven threats.”
