The term LLMjacking refers to attackers using stolen cloud credentials to gain unauthorized access to cloud-based large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s GPT or Anthropic Claude. This blog shows how to strengthen LLMs with Sysdig. The attack works by criminals exploiting stolen credentials or cloud misconfigurations to gain access to expensive artificial intelligence (AI) models in the cloud. Once they gain access, they can run costly AI models at the victim’s expense.

Cybersecurity involves anticipating threats and designing adaptive strategies in a constantly changing environment. In 2024, organizations faced complex challenges due to technological advances and sophisticated threats, requiring them to constantly review their approach. For 2025, it is crucial to identify key factors that will enable organizations to strengthen their defenses and consolidate their resilience in the face of a dynamic and risk-filled digital landscape.

LLMs are based on neural network architectures, with transformers being the dominant framework. Introduced in 2017, transformers use mechanisms called attention mechanisms to understand the relationships between words or tokens in text, making them highly effective at understanding and generating coherent language. Practical Example: GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models like GPT-4 are structured with billions of parameters that determine how the model processes and generates language.

Cybersecurity researchers are warning about a new breed of investment scam that combines AI-powered video testimonials, social media malvertising, and phishing tactics to steal money and personal data. Known as Nomani — a play on "no money" — this scam grew by over 335% in H2 2024, with more than 100 new URLs detected daily between May and November, according to ESET's H2 2024 Threat Report.

Gartner predicts that generative AI (GenAI) will become a critical workforce partner for 90% of companies by next year. In application development specifically, we see developers turning to code assistants like Github Copilot and Google Gemini Code Assist to help them build software at an unprecedented speed. But while GenAI can power new levels of productivity and speed, it also introduces new threats and challenges for application security teams.

Last week, Google launched Project Mariner, an AI Agent built for the browser, based on the updated Gemini 2.0. Project Mariner is built on top of Google Gemini and can be used to browse the web on your behalf, taking commands from within a Chrome extension and performing autonomous tasks on your behalf.

Organizations worldwide struggle with complex regulatory requirements. AI in compliance management emerges as a powerful solution to simplify these challenges. Modern businesses face unprecedented pressure to maintain rigorous compliance standards across multiple domains. AI for compliance transforms how companies approach regulatory requirements. Traditional methods consume significant resources and expose organizations to substantial risks.

Adversaries are advancing faster than ever, exploiting the growing complexity of business IT environments. In this high-stakes threat landscape, generative AI (GenAI) is a necessity. With organizations grappling with skills shortages, sophisticated adversaries and operational complexity, 64% of security professionals have already kicked off their GenAI purchase journey.

As 2024 comes to a close, we went around the room and asked some of Trustwave’s top executives what cybersecurity issues and technology they saw playing a prominent role in 2025. Here is the latest installment. As we look ahead to 2025, the landscape of cyber threats continues to evolve, presenting new challenges for cybersecurity professionals.

Arctic Wolf has taken a decisive step forward in our mission to end cyber risk by acquiring Cylance, a pioneer of AI-based endpoint protection. With this acquisition, Arctic Wolf ushers a new era of simplicity and automation to the endpoint security market that will deliver the security outcomes endpoint security customers have been struggling to achieve for years.
