Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the cyber threat landscape. Attackers are increasingly leveraging AI-driven platforms like Perplexity and Claude to automate phishing campaigns, obfuscate malicious infrastructure, and coordinate command-and-control (C2) activities. This evolution makes traditional security measures insufficient, as malicious domains and IPs can shift rapidly to evade detection.  

The Rise of AI-Augmented Threats  

With the proliferation of generative AI, attackers now have powerful tools to:  

  • Generate realistic phishing emails and social engineering content at scale  
  • Create and rotate malicious domains to evade detection  
  • Automate data exfiltration or obfuscate traffic patterns 

AI Tools can also further the intentional (or unintentional) offloading of corporate data to third party services that are not approved.  Blocking access to these tools from your corporate network can help mitigate their access.

Our newly created Perplexity and Claude Targets are now live and actively protecting ThreatSTOP customers, joining our other AI feeds in our Application Control Bundle.

  • Blocks phishing, C2, data exfiltration, and invalid traffic before it even reaches your endpoints.  

IP Defense  

  • Blocks known malicious IPs linked to AI-driven botnets and exfiltration servers on routers, firewalls, IPS devices, or cloud services like AWS WAF.  
  • Our dynamic feeds, automatically update with the latest intelligence to ensure continuous protection.
