CyTwist Launches Advanced Security Solution to Identify AI-Driven Cyber Threats in Minutes

CyTwist, a leader in advanced next-generation threat detection solutions, has launched its patented detection engine to combat the insidious proliferation of AI-generated malware.

The cybersecurity landscape is changing as attackers use the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to develop advanced and evasive threats. The proliferation of AI-generated malware and AI-enhanced cyber attacks have elevated the threat landscape, leaving traditional defenses struggling to keep up. Businesses now face a significant challenge to adapt to this new era of cyber warfare, characterized by speed, complexity, and flexibility.

The threat of AI-driven Cyberattacks

AI has changed the dynamics of cyber conflict, enabling attackers to perform sophisticated operations previously associated with state-sponsored organizations. AI-generated phishing emails, dynamic botnets, and automated inspection tools are now common parts of cybercriminal tactics. This technology bypasses signature-based defenses and mimics legitimate behavior, making detection more challenging.

For example, in recent attacks on French companies and government agencies, AI-developed malware used advanced techniques such as COM hijacking and secret uploads, which enabled attackers to remain undetected for a long time, extract sensitive data, and establish long-term persistence within the network. This incident illustrates three key risks of AI-driven attacks:

· Sophistication: AI allows attacks to evolve in real-time, rendering static defenses obsolete.

· Speed: Automated recovery and attack significantly reduces the time required to breach networks and conduct an attack.

· Evasion: Threats generated by AI mimic human behavior, making it difficult for security teams to detect.

In response to this growing challenge, CyTwist has developed a patented detection engine that identifies AI-driven attack campaigns and malware that outperform traditional security tools, including leading EDR and XDR solutions. Using advanced behavioral analysis, CyTwist Profiler identifies new and emerging threats in real time, stopping attackers before they can cause damage.

CyTwist: Advanced Defense Against AI-Generated Threats

CyTwist recently demonstrated its advanced acquisition capabilities during a red team simulation with a major telecommunications provider. The operation is similar to sophisticated techniques seen in recent attacks on French organizations and government institutions, using AI-generated malware with encryption and evasion techniques. While existing security tools failed to detect the attack, the CyTwist solution identified the malicious activity within minutes.

The telecom operator’s incident response head highlighted the value of the tool, saying “We are impressed with CyTwist’s ability to detect sophisticated, AI-generated malware that our EDR failed to detect. CyTwist has provided the critical information we need to detect attacks early, adding an important layer of security against AI-powered threats. “

This simulation emphasized the importance of adopting advanced technologies to meet the modern challenges of the Internet.

“The use of AI in cyberattacks is reshaping the threat landscape, enabling attackers to operate with ease and speed, unable to bypass traditional security solutions. Our proprietary detection engine is specifically designed to address these challenges.” Said Eran Orzel, CEO of CyTwist.

Strategies to Mitigate AI-Based Threats

As organizations face increasing threats from AI-driven attacks, proactive strategies are essential. Key recommendations include:

1. Adopting Advanced Vision Technology: Traditional detection tools are not always an adequate defense against the dynamic nature of modern cyber threats. Modern detection tools that use AI, machine learning, behavioral analytics, and anomaly detection are needed to uncover threats missed by conventional methods.

2. Most Important Quick Detection and Response: Speed is critical when responding to AI-driven threats. Continuous monitoring and automated response systems enable rapid containment of threats and real-time assessment tools help security teams focus on critical alerts and ignore the noise.

3. Improved Durability Through Protective Structures: Building dynamic security frameworks that incorporate advanced detection tools will enable a response to emerging threats in real time. Regular training of security teams is required to build skills to combat the latest AI-driven attack techniques.

CyTwist’s patented detection engine represents a major advance in addressing AI-enhanced cyber threats, providing organizations with the tools needed to navigate this expanding landscape.
