For decades, advanced cyber capabilities have remained concentrated among nation-state threat actors and sophisticated financially motivated cybercriminals.

Frontier AI models are beginning to change that equation, making powerful cyber capabilities more accessible and easier to deploy.

Meanwhile, attackers are gaining access to increasingly powerful cyber capabilities.

The result is a growing imbalance that can shape the next cyber crisis.

Advanced AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of identifying software vulnerabilities, chaining exploits together and accelerating offensive cyber techniques.
