Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has officially arrived at the enterprise and is poised to disrupt everything from customer-facing applications and services to back-end data and infrastructure to workforce engagement and empowerment. Cyberattackers also stand to benefit: 93% of security decision makers expect AI-enabled threats to affect their organization in 2023, with AI-powered malware cited as the No. 1 concern.
Today, cyberattacks pose the most significant threat to an organization’s data. The Spring 2023 Rubrik Zero Labs report, based on research from over 1,600 IT and Security professionals, revealed that 99% of IT and security leaders were informed of at least one attack in their own environment in 2022.
Shocking to no one: Artificial Intelligence (AI) was a huge topic at Black Hat USA 2023, but what did we learn about it? With no shortage of talks on it, there are many insights to take into account. We asked highly skilled Software Security Researchers who attended both Black Hat and DEFCON to weigh-in on the most insightful moments, particularly related to AI. Here’s what we found.
AI tools have become increasingly popular in various industries as businesses recognize their potential to revolutionize processes and drive innovation. These tools leverage advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques to automate tasks, analyze vast amounts of data, and generate valuable insights. In 2022, around 35% of businesses worldwide used AI tools and 61% of employees say AI helps to improve their work productivity.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and companion coding can help developers write software faster than ever. However, as companies look to adopt AI-powered companion coding, they must be aware of the strengths and limitations of different approaches – especially regarding code security. Watch this 4-minute video to see a developer generate insecure code with ChatGPT, find the flaw with static analysis, and secure it with Veracode Fix to quickly develop a function without writing any code.
As AI becomes more advanced, it’s important to consider all the ways AI can be used maliciously by cybercriminals, especially when it comes to cracking passwords. While AI password-cracking techniques aren’t new, they’re becoming more sophisticated and posing a serious threat to your sensitive data. Thankfully, password managers like Keeper Security exist and can help you stay safe from AI-password threats.
According to a new report, cybercriminals are making full use of AI to create more convincing phishing emails, generating malware, and more to increase the chances of ransomware attack success. I remember when the news of ChatGPT hit social media – it was everywhere. And, quickly, there were incredible amounts of content providing insight into how to make use of the AI tool to make money.
From ChatGPT to DALL-E to Grammarly, there are countless ways to leverage generative AI (GenAI) to simplify everyday life. Whether you’re looking to cut down on busywork, create stunning visual content, or compose impeccable emails, GenAI’s got you covered—however, it’s vital to keep a close eye on your sensitive data at all times.
