They provide convenience, productivity, and connectivity on the go. There are more than 6.8 billion smartphones in use around the world, with many people relying on them not only for personal use, but also in their professional jobs to access company applications, networks, and files. Unfortunately, with this increased reliance comes increased risk as cybercriminals shift their focus to exploit vulnerabilities on these devices. The growth of cybersecurity threats targeting mobile devices and operating systems such as iOS and Android highlights the growing need for businesses to have strong mobile threat detection (MTD) capabilities.

These systems have transformed the way most of us view the near and immediate impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning in our everyday lives. Savvy computer users are employing these AI tools to do everything from updating their resume, to writing and debugging code, to composing poetry, art, and music, and beyond.  These tools are opening our eyes to new possibilities in every field of work imaginable.  The potential is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, but what exactly are ChatGPT, Dall-E and Midjourney?  How can these AI tools potentially be used to commit or aid in committing cybercrime, and what does this mean for the cybersecurity industry as a whole?  In this blog, we are going to explore those questions, and attempt to provide some answers.
