McKinsey is calling 2023 “generative AI’s breakout year.” In one of their recent surveys, a third of respondents reported their organizations use GenAI regularly in at least one business function. But as advancements in AI continue to reshape the tech landscape, many CCISOs are left grappling with this question: How does AI impact software development cycles and the overall security of business applications?

According to Vanta’s State of Trust Report, 54% of businesses say that regulating AI would make them more comfortable investing in it. But with regulation still in flux, how can companies adopt AI safely and responsibly to minimize risk while accelerating innovation?

In my previous blog post, we saw how the growth of generative AI and Large Language Models has created a new set of challenges and threats to cybersecurity. However, it’s not just new issues that we need to be concerned about. The scope and capabilities of this technology and the volume of the components that it handles can exacerbate existing cybersecurity challenges. That’s because LLMs are deployed globally, and their impact is widespread.

As we keep a close eye on trends impacting businesses this year, it is impossible to ignore the impacts of Artificial Intelligence and its evolving relationship with technology. One of the key areas experiencing this transformational change is cybersecurity. The integration of AI with cybersecurity practices is imperative, and it also demands a shift in how businesses approach their defenses.

What do you get when you combine artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity? If you answered with faster threat detection, quicker response times and improved security measures... you're only partially correct. Here's why.

Keeping up with threats is an ongoing problem in the constantly changing field of cybersecurity. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into cybersecurity is emerging as a vital roadmap for future-proofing cybersecurity, especially as organizations depend more and more on digital twins to mimic and optimize their physical counterparts.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become integral tools for organizations across various industries. However, the successful adoption of these technologies requires a careful balance between business objectives and security requirements.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly infiltrating the business world and our daily lives. While revolutionizing how – and how efficiently – work gets done, it also introduces a new set of cybersecurity challenges. In response to the evolving, AI-shaped threat landscape, I foresee organizations adopting robust countermeasures.

The future is notoriously hard to see coming. In the 1997 sci-fi classic Men in Black — bet you didn’t see that reference coming — a movie about extraterrestrials living amongst us and the secret organization that monitors them, the character Kay, played by the great Tommy Lee Jones, sums up this reality perfectly: While vistors from distant galaxies have yet to make first contact — or have they? — his point stands.
