The degree of cooperation in cyberattacks is novel, although automation with best RMM tools and PSA software itself is not.
AI now integrates various attack stages into a single, dynamic process that instantly adjusts to a target's defences. An intrusion is now a continuous, changing process rather than a predictable, sequential procedure.
This shift is seen in targeted identity attacks, adaptive phishing, and AI-driven reconnaissance. When exploring, exploiting, moving laterally through a network, and establishing a permanent foothold all function as one cohesive loop, that's when the actual threat arises. This removes the gaps and delays that security professionals must deal with in order to apprehend and stop hackers. For attackers, speed is now a structural advantage as well as a tactical one.
