Copy of Adversarial Intelligence: How AI Powers the Next Wave of Cybercrime | Andres Andreu

The adversaries targeting modern enterprises now operate with structured budgets, deadlines, and performance targets, and AI has given them an asymmetric advantage. Andres Andreu of Constella Intelligence presents how artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed the economics of cyberattacks in a session hosted by Glenn Tyranski of 1BusinessWorld. The session covers how AI simultaneously improves facilitation and scale for attackers, lowering the barrier to entry to near zero while enabling adaptive, hyper-personalized campaigns across thousands of targets in parallel. Andreu examines the role of dark LLMs that generate ransomware campaigns from three prompts, the erosion of digital trust through real-time deepfake impersonation and vibe hacking, the four-phase attack lifecycle from harvest through monetization, the dark social layer that sustains the cybercrime ecosystem, and the specific changes defenders must make to their operating models, from mandatory human verification and behavioral anomaly detection to deception engineering and AI honeypots that convert attacker automation into organizational learning.
