Exposed UIs, weak authentication, and risky defaults could turn cloud-native AI apps on Kubernetes into potential targets by threat actors. Learn how exploitable misconfigurations lead to RCE and data leaks. The post When configuration becomes a vulnerability: Exploitable misconfigurations in AI apps appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.

Security teams today are not short on tools or data. They are overwhelmed by both.  Yet within the terabytes of alerts, exposures, and misconfigurations – security teams still struggle to understand context:  Q: Which exposures, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities chain together to create viable attack paths to crown jewels? Even the most mature security teams can’t answer that

Forget stolen credentials and misconfigurations. Thanks to AI, the new top cause of compromises in the cloud is vulnerability exploits that beat patching cycles.
