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.
Company Concludes His Ouster Stemmed from 'Breakdown In Trust'Generative artificial intelligence leader OpenAI returned Sam Altman to its board of directors Friday in a bid to put to rest a leadership crisis that rocked the San Francisco company during the last months of 2023. Fallout from incident may yet reverberate for OpenAI.
Chinese national Linwei Ding is accused of pilfering more than 500 files containing Google IP while affiliating with two China-based startups at the same time.
US President Urges Congress to Harness AI While Protecting 'From Its Peril'U.S. President Joe Biden used part of his highly anticipated State of the Union address on Thursday night to call on lawmakers to pass bipartisan privacy legislation and to harness the powers of artificial intelligence while protecting the nation "from its peril."
In the realm of cybersecurity, the stakes are sky-high, and at its core lies secrets management — the foundational pillar upon which your security infrastructure rests. We're all familiar with the routine: safeguarding those API keys, connection strings, and certificates is non-negotiable. However, let's dispense with the pleasantries; this isn't a simple 'set it and forget it' scenario. It's
