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.

The good, the bad and the generative AI

ChatGPT is just the beginning: CISOs need to prepare for the next wave of AI-powered attacks Sponsored Feature Change in the tech industry is usually evolutionary, but perhaps more interesting are the exceptions to this rule – the microprocessor in 1968, the IBM PC in 1981, the web in 1989, the smartphone in 2007. These are the technologies whose appearance began new eras that completely reshaped the industry around them.…

Google's cloud division is following in the footsteps of Microsoft with the launch of Security AI Workbench that leverages generative AI models to gain better visibility into the threat landscape.  Powering the cybersecurity suite is Sec-PaLM, a specialized large language model (LLM) that's "fine-tuned for security use cases." The idea is to take advantage of the latest advances in AI to augment
