Artificial Intelligence Malware: The New Cybersecurity Threat in 2025

The latest report from the Google Threat Intelligence Group confirms what we've suspected: artificial intelligence is no longer just a defensive tool. Now it's on the other side as well.

And I'm not talking about using ChatGPT to write better phishing emails. I'm talking about intelligent malware that thinks while it infects your system.

How AI-powered malware works: PROMPTFLUX and PROMPTSTEAL

What the GTIG documents is a qualitative leap in how cyberattacks operate:

• PROMPTFLUX and PROMPTSTEAL are malware families that use real-time language models. They don't come with pre-built code: they generate it as they run on your machine, adapting to what they encounter.
• AI-powered malware is no longer a static file. It rewrites itself, obfuscates itself, learns your defenses, and tries to circumvent them.
• The tools for creating AI-powered malware are sold in kits, with included support, accessible to anyone.

Think about this: an attacker can create an infinite number of variations of the same attack. How do you detect something that's never the same twice?

AI Cybersecurity: Why Traditional Defenses Fail

If you lead technology or cybersecurity at your company, this isn't theory. It's your reality for the next quarter:

Traditional defenses don't work against AI attacks. Your firewall looks for known patterns. Your antivirus compares signatures. But when the attack is generated live using artificial intelligence, you're playing at a disadvantage.

Reputation is fragile. A security breach isn't just a technical problem. It's your name in the media and customers asking if their data is safe.

The cost of reacting late is exponential. Every day without updating your cybersecurity strategy widens the gap between what you have and what you need.

Defensive AI: How to Protect Your Company Against Intelligent Malware

1. Implement AI Cybersecurity Solutions
If the attacker uses AI to generate malware, you need defensive AI to detect it. But it has to be transparent, auditable, and aligned with your values. Speed ​​matters, but accountability matters more.

2. Advanced Threat Detection with Machine Learning
Stop asking yourself, "What signature does this malware have?" and start asking yourself, "How does the model that generated it think?"
This means analyzing the logic behind malicious code, understanding how the prompts that trigger attacks work, and training your own models with your real-world behavioral data.

3. Threat Landscape Analysis with AI
The GTIG identified an entire market of illicit AI tools. As defenders, we need to understand what's being offered, how it's distributed, and at what point it can enter our defense chain.
 

Enterprise Cybersecurity: Beyond the IT Team

AI in cybersecurity isn't just technology; it's a shared responsibility. It's not enough for the systems team to simply implement tools. Everyone in the organization needs to understand the new paradigm:

• Your CMO needs to know that a phishing attempt can now be personalized with AI to sound exactly like your CEO.
• Your CFO needs to understand why cybersecurity investment has scaled up.
• Your developers need to think about security from the very first commit.

Training is defense. Shared knowledge is defense.

AI Cybersecurity Solutions: What Solcre Offers

At Solcre, we have the opportunity to lead this market shift:
We offer cybersecurity solutions that include defensive AI, not just the conventional measures everyone else uses.

We position ourselves as strategic partners who not only support digital transformation but also protect it against threats that are still unnamed.

Our differentiation is simple yet powerful: we understand that defense is no longer static. It is generative, adaptive, and built on ethical principles.

Protection Against AI Cyberattacks: The Time to Act Is Now

When malware begins to rewrite itself in real time using AI, when attackers ask, "How does the model think it will detect me?" instead of "What signature will I use?", we're in a different league.
Defense with artificial intelligence also needs to be generative. The question isn't whether you'll incorporate AI into your security strategy, but when and how.

With the speed that the current landscape demands? With the ethical standards that reflect your values? With the technical depth that truly makes a difference?

If you'd like to explore how we can help you implement AI-powered cybersecurity—from auditing to defensive AI deployment—let's talk. The playing field has shifted, but we still have time to play well.
