Summary
AI isn't necessarily creating impossible new attacks, but it is drastically lowering the technical barrier to entry for cybercriminals. In this episode, Ashish Rajan speaks with Simon Biggs, Cyber Incident Response Specialist at Varonis, about how AI is accelerating the attack lifecycle. Simon explains how attackers are using AI kits to instantly set up ephemeral phishing portals, query SQL databases in minutes, and bypass AI guardrails to compile Remote Access Trojans (RATs). We also discuss the shift in ransomware tactics from "encryption-first" to "data-theft-first," and how AI empowers attackers to post-process terabytes of stolen data to monetize it in novel ways. For defenders, the message is clear: if your S3 access logs and SQL transaction logs aren't turned on before a breach, your forensics team won't be able to tell lawyers or regulators what data was actually lost. Discover why data classification and proactive logging are the ultimate lifelines for IR teams in the AI age.
