Cyber Security — Dark Side of AI
By Mark Hayward
AI is not just a tool for defenders — it is increasingly being weaponised by attackers. This book exposes the darker side of artificial intelligence in cyber security: how criminals are using AI to automate attacks, craft convincing phishing campaigns, evade detection systems, and scale threats at a speed no human team can match.
From deepfakes and AI-generated malware to adversarial attacks on machine learning models, Mark Hayward breaks down the emerging threat landscape with clarity — explaining not just what is happening, but what security professionals must do about it.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the curve. Understanding how AI is being turned against us is the first step to defending against it.
