AI Cyber Hygiene: Your First Line of Digital Defense

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, making cyber hygiene more crucial than ever. AI is now both a powerful offensive and defensive tool. What's interesting is that cybercriminals use AI to automate attacks, create convincing phishing, and produce realistic deepfakes. This has reduced the attack cycle from weeks to hours or even minutes. However, defenders also use AI for automated response, threat hunting, and anomaly detection. This creates an arms race in technology. The bottom line is that strong cyber hygiene, like safeguarding credentials and using multi-factor authentication, is essential to protect digital trust in this evolving landscape.
