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.
OpenAI isn't just working on GPT-5. It looks like OpenAI is also preparing to release new open-source weights, living up to its name, OpenAI.' [...]
Anthropic says it has revoked OpenAI's access to the Claude API after ChatGPT's engineers were found using Claude's coding tools. [...]
Red-Hot Startup Noma Security to Deepen Protection for AI Models and AgentsWith agentic AI deployments accelerating, Noma Security’s $100 million Series B will fuel development of risk management and runtime protection features. CEO Niv Braun said demand for securing agentic AI has surged among Fortune 500 firms and healthcare and financial institutions.
New Funding, Platform Expansion Aim for Predictive, Autonomous Threat DefenseSafe's $70 million Series C will fund expanded capabilities across its cyber risk quantification, exposure management and third-party oversight tools. The company says its agentic AI vision – cyber AGI – will transform how enterprises manage and mitigate cyberthreats.
Checkbox to make chatbot conversations appear in search engines deemed a footgun OpenAI has removed the option to make ChatGPT interactions indexable by search engines to prevent users from unwittingly exposing sensitive information.…
GenAI Chooses Insecure Code Nearly Half the Time, Veracode FindsThere's been little improvement in how well AI models handle core security decisions, says a report from application security company Veracode. Large language models introduce vulnerabilities in nearly half of test cases when asked to complete secure code tasks, it found.
OpenAI is reportedly working on a new plan called 'Go,' which would be cheaper than the existing $20 Plus subscription. [...]
Our tests have shown there are ways to get around the promised security improvements exclusive Microsoft Recall, the AI app that takes screenshots of what you do on your PC so you can search for it later, has a filter that's supposed to prevent it from screenshotting sensitive info like credit card numbers. But a The Register test shows that it still fails in many cases, creating a potential treasure trove for thieves.…
AI Tools Can Steal Crypto Autonomously, Even From Audited CodeArmed with just a smart contract address, researchers developed an autonomous artificial intelligence tool that can scan for vulnerabilities, write working exploits in the Solidity blockchain programming language and siphon funds. "It behaves more like a human hacker," said its co-creator.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a now-patched, high-severity security flaw in Cursor, a popular artificial intelligence (AI) code editor, that could result in remote code execution
Security debt ahoy: only about half of the code that the latest large language models (LLMs) create is cybersecure, and more and more of it is being created all the time.
Investor Umesh Padval on Platform Power, Scaling Fast and Global AI PlaysQ2 2025 saw AI dominate global VC funding, grabbing $47.5 billion of the $94.6 billion raised. AI Investor Umesh Padval breaks down what makes AI infrastructure startups worth betting on - from platform depth and speed to regional ecosystems and exit timing.
A vulnerability that researchers call CurXecute is present in almost all versions of the AI-powered code editor Cursor, and can be exploited to execute remote code with developer privileges. [...]
ISC2 is launching a 6-course certification program to address the growing demand for AI security expertise. Courses cover topics such as AI fundamentals, ethics, and risks.
