2024 will be a year dominated by artificial intelligence-created deepfakes and advanced phishing attacks, but also new AI-based detection applications to help defenders.
These are among the predictions from companies that provide cybersecurity solutions. We’ve collected comments from over 30 vendors to give infosec pros an idea of what they will face in the next 12 months:
“Our reliance on AI for cybersecurity is undeniable,” said Sergey Shykevich, threat intelligence group manager at Check Point Software Technologies, “but as AI evolves so will the strategies of our adversaries.

Next year will see more threat actors adopt AI to accelerate and expand every aspect of their toolkit, the company says. Whether that is for more cost-efficient rapid development of new malware and ransomware variants or using deepfake technologies to take phishing and impersonation attacks to the next level.
