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 static analyzer uses Claude AI to identify vulns and suggest exploit code Researchers with Seattle-based Protect AI plan to release a free, open source tool that can find zero-day vulnerabilities in Python codebases with the help of Anthropic's Claude AI model.…
This year, the majority of developers have adopted AI assistants to help with coding and improve code output, but most are also creating more vulnerabilities that take longer to remediate.
Agency Details AI Cybersecurity Risks, Prevention, Mitigation StrategiesFinancial regulators with the state of New York on Wednesday published guidance to help organizations identify and mitigate cybersecurity threats related to artificial intelligence. The New York State Department of Financial Services said it's not imposing new requirements.
As the unique challenges of AI zero-days emerge, the approach to managing the accompanying risks needs to follow traditional security best practices but be adapted for AI.
Trail Acquisition Brings Enhanced DLP, DSPM Integration, Safeguards Data in MotionWith the $162 million buy of Trail Security, Cyera will offer customers AI-enhanced data loss prevention alongside its DSPM solution. The new platform promises stronger, real-time data protection for sensitive information both in motion and at rest, helping enterprises meet security demands.
Highlights from the recent discussion between Trend Micro’s David Roth, CRO Enterprise America, and guest speaker Jeff Pollard, VP, Principal Analyst, Forrester about AI hype versus reality and how to secure AI in the workplace.

A new Bugcrowd study shows 71% of ethical hackers now see AI boosting hacking value, up from 21% in 2023
AI from the attacker’s perspective: See how cybercriminals are leveraging AI and exploiting its vulnerabilities to compromise systems, users, and even other AI applications Cybercriminals and AI: The Reality vs. Hype “AI will not replace humans in the near future. But humans who know how to use AI are going to replace those humans who don't know how to use AI,” says Etay Maor, Chief Security
New government grants for AI safety research are designed to fund work into deepfakes and other cyber risks
Gartner Forecasts Global Shipments of AI PCs to Increase by 165.5% in 2025AI PCs are expected to make up 43% of all PC shipments by 2025, from 17% in 2024. The demand for AI-powered laptops is forecast to outpace that for desktops, and by 2026, AI laptops will be the "only choice of laptop available to large businesses."
Researchers have discovered a new cyber-attack method called ConfusedPilot that can manipulate AI-generated responses by injecting malicious content into documents referenced by AI systems
A heated regulatory landscape, uncertainty over AI use, and how it all ties back to cybersecurity means CISOs have to add privacy to their portfolios.
Who also worries misinformation on social media could threaten liquidity The governor of India's Reserve Bank, Shri Shaktikanta Das, yesterday warned that AI – and the platforms that provide it – could worsen systemic risk to the nation's financial system.…
AI Mimics Reasoning Without Understanding, Struggles With Irrelevant DataCutting-edge large language models would fail eighth grade math, say artificial intelligence researchers at Apple - likely because AI is mimicking the process of reasoning rather than actually engaging in it. Researchers asked LLMs to solve math word problems.
