We’ve spent the past year investigating how threat actors are weaponizing AI to conduct cyber operations. Today, we’re sharing a new analysis that maps these real-world attacks onto the MITRE ATT&CK® framework, a database of tactics and techniques used by cyberattackers. Doing so reveals patterns that challenge traditional assumptions about cybersecurity—for example, the level of risk a threat actor poses can be assessed via metrics like technical sophistication or breadth of techniques. We partnered with Verizon to include some of these results in the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR), and are publishing this report to offer a longer-form analysis of trends we are seeing in AI-enabled cyber operations. — Read More
