The traditional cybersecurity model of ranking threats by technical expertise is becoming obsolete as AI tools democratize offensive capabilities. Previously low-skilled attackers can now leverage AI to execute sophisticated attacks that once required nation-state level expertise, fundamentally disrupting the risk assessment frameworks security teams have relied on for decades.
The cybersecurity industry has spent decades assuming that offensive capability scales with technical expertise. That assumption is starting to break. Security teams have long estimated risk by ranking attacker sophistication. Nation-state actors sat at one end. Organized criminal groups followed. Inexperienced attackers, dismissed as "script kiddies," sat at the other end, running public
