Advanced ransomware leverages AI to bypass security measures. AI adapts malware behavior based on endpoint defenses, user activity, and antivirus signatures. Polymorphic code mutates continuously, evading signature-based detection. AI-driven attacks are faster and more precise than traditional malware. Security teams face an arms race against intelligent malware.
It matters because traditional defenses may fail against adaptive ransomware. Continuous monitoring is essential.
It also accelerates development of AI-powered cybersecurity tools.
Some ransomware uses AI to dynamically avoid detection.
