On the surface, they look like magic, but behind the curtain, LLMs are just complex systems created by humans.

Sentinels of Ex Machina: Defending AI Architectures

The introduction, adoption, and quick evolution of generative AI has raised multiple questions about implementing effective security architecture and the specific requirements for protecting all aspects of an AI environment as more and more organizations begin using this technology. Recent security reports on vulnerabilities that expose Large Language Model (LLM) components and jailbreaks for bypassing prompting restrictions have further shown the need for AI defenses.

Even conversations with your mother might include concerns about AI risks.

AI in cybersecurity 101: Bridging the skills gap

“Four million workers wanted. Immediate start. Must have knowledge, experience and an ability to be in several places at once.” If the cybersecurity industry posted a job ad, it would sound something like this. That is the current reported size of the talent shortage, with “little optimism that the supply will catch up.”

8 Stages of the AI "Emotional Rollercoaster"

Feelings are running hot right now when it comes to generative AI (GenAI). Within the business community, many employees (and execs) are nervous with excitement and anticipation. Others are more fearful and skeptical of how this “thing” will play out, which leads us to an important question: Are enterprises too emotional when it comes to adopting nascent technologies?

AI Governance Belongs In Your Organization

In the modern workplace, GenAI models have become powerful assets due to their ability to introduce efficiency, up level product innovation, and expedite how teams close the gap on competitors. However, these powerful tools also introduce significant risks related to data security and governance. Companies that aren’t actively figuring out how to govern the GenAI they’ve adopted will inevitably be left vulnerable.
