Lily Hay Newman explores whether autonomous malware operating without human intervention could soon outpace traditional cybersecurity defenses. Cybersecurity researchers at Cisco Talos recently uncovered CAIRN, an open-source framework that detects AI-integrated hacking tools such as CLOSEDQUORUM, which relies on an AI hive mind of multiple large language models to independently plot attacks. As malicious actors increasingly leverage artificial intelligence for complex cyber threats, the defensive community faces pressure to adapt and track these evolving automated dangers. Those seeking to understand the future of digital defense should explore how security experts are responding. Lily Hay Newman provides a thoroughly reported and illuminating examination of these cybersecurity trends in
