Foster’s 2023 SANS research examines whether an operator with limited technical skill can use generative AI to produce malware that evades traditional security controls, and what that capability means for defenders.
Key points
- The paper examines ChatGPT as a tool for generating malicious code with minimal technical expertise.
- Its evasion findings illustrate the need to assess defenses against unfamiliar, AI-generated malware.
