Background for this topic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, or generating content. In security reporting, the term commonly includes machine-learning models used for detection and analysis, as well as generative AI applications that produce text, code, images, or other outputs.
AI can help analyze security telemetry, prioritize vulnerabilities, and support investigations, but its outputs can be wrong or manipulated. Important attack surfaces include prompt injection that steers an application into unintended actions, sensitive data being exposed through prompts or model outputs, and excessive permissions granted to AI systems that use external tools. Models can also be degraded by poisoned training data or evaded with carefully crafted inputs. Practitioners should protect training and operational data, limit model access and tool permissions, test for adversarial behavior, and require appropriate human validation before high-impact decisions.
Investors poured $140 million into Torq's Series D Round, bringing the startup's valuation to $1.2 billion, to bring AI-based "hyper automation" to SOCs.
Dark Reading asked readers whether agentic AI attacks, advanced deepfake threats, board recognition of cyber as a top priority, or password-less technology adoption would be most likely to become a trending reality for 2026.
The Tenable One AI Exposure add-on discovers unsanctioned AI use in the organization and enforces policy compliance with approved tools.
The popular open source AI assistant (aka ClawdBot, MoltBot) has taken off, raising security concerns over its privileged, autonomous control within users' computers.
A new around of vulnerabilities in the popular AI automation platform could let attackers hijack servers and steal credentials.
If an attacker splits a malicious prompt into discrete chunks, some large language models (LLMs) will get lost in the details and miss the true intent.
As 2026 begins, these journalists urge the cybersecurity industry to prioritize patching vulnerabilities, preparing for quantum threats, and refining AI applications, in the latest edition of Reporters' Notebook.
The region is up against tactics like data-leak extortion, credential-stealing campaigns, edge-device exploitation, and attackers leveraging AI.
AI "model collapse," where LLMs over time train on more and more AI-generated data and become degraded as a result, can introduce inaccuracies, promulgate malicious activity, and impact PII protections.
The North Korean threat group is using a new PowerShell backdoor to compromise development environments and target cryptocurrency holdings, according to researchers.
