The Future of Threat Intelligence-Driven Security: Integrating Emerging Technologies for Enhanced Decision-Making

Abstract

From identity theft to disinformation and social engineering schemes, threat actors and state-sponsored hacker groups continue to ravage businesses and disrupt critical government operations. With world uncertainties around warfare, economy, and politics, the increasingly sophisticated threat environment is becoming more overwrought with cyber risks – and the tremendous development of advanced technologies like generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has become a major cause of concern. In the future, we anticipate witnessing state-sponsored hacker groups leveraging artificial intelligence to launch successful disinformation campaigns, to interfere with electoral processes. We also expect threat actors will use scaled spear-phishing schemes, augmented with various social engineering tactics to imitate senior company and government officials to steal sensitive information. Nevertheless, we expect industry leaders will leverage modern technologies to bolster information security defenses, resulting in enhanced decision-making.
