Generative AI is infiltrating the realm of cybersecurity, as Tenable releases a suite of AI cyber tools to bolster vulnerability detection and code analysis. These tools aim to improve reverse engineering, web application security, and cloud-based tool visibility. Yet, it's a double-edged sword, as AI may also empower hackers to find new avenues of attack or exploit AI-generated vulnerabilities.

The question remains: Will AI be the hero or the villain in the cybersecurity narrative? As AI tools grow in sophistication, the battle between hackers and cybersecurity experts will intensify, with AI playing a crucial role on both sides of the fence.
