Which AI threat category describes malware that uses AI to continuously modify its own code or behavior to evade signature-based detection?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Polymorphic malware. Polymorphic malware uses algorithmic or AI-assisted techniques to mutate its code or behavior with each iteration, making static signature-based detection ineffective. The SecAI+ exam objectives explicitly list polymorphic malware as an AI-driven threat that cybersecurity practitioners must recognize. Adversarial machine learning attacks the AI model itself rather than evading endpoint signatures. Data poisoning contaminates training data rather than mutating executable code.
