Emerging trends in cybersecurity and RMF
The landscape of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, shaped by technological advancements, emerging threats, and the shifting dynamics of the digital world. One of the most significant trends in recent years is the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. These AI systems, capable of producing content, solving complex problems, and automating decision-making processes, represent a frontier in innovation. However, they also introduce new vulnerabilities and challenges for cybersecurity frameworks, including the NIST RMF.
Generative AI, with its ability to generate realistic text, images, and data, allows for new avenues for cyberattacks, including sophisticated phishing campaigns, deepfake technologies, and the automation of malicious activities. The traditional cybersecurity measures, while still relevant, require adaptation to address the unique threats posed by AI technologies. Recognizing this, NIST is at the forefront...
