As email security improves, so do the tactics of attackers. Spambang is likely to become more sophisticated. We are already seeing the use of AI to generate more convincing phishing emails that are free of grammatical errors and tailored to specific individuals. The volume of attacks will also continue to increase as more devices become connected to the internet.
The rise of generative AI tools makes it easier for attackers to create vast quantities of unique, convincing spam content. This makes signature-based detection nearly useless. The future of defense will rely heavily on behavioral analysis and anomaly detection. Systems will need to learn what “normal” email traffic looks like for each user and flag anything that deviates from that pattern.
