Attending industry events is quite possibly one of the most important requirements of running a successful managed service provider (MSP) business. Why? On the one hand, a few days away from the day-to-day grind of running your MSP to instead network with your peers and enjoy some MSP swag seems like the perfect opportunity to unwind while staying connected. On the other (equally as important!) hand is all the great learning going on.

Open source fuels modern development. It's a vast library of pre-built solutions that empower developers to focus on innovation, not reinvent the wheel. But with every dependency comes the responsibility of maintaining it. The traditional approach emphasizes staying on the bleeding edge, updating packages constantly. However, this relentless pursuit of the "latest" version can introduce roadblocks and slow down development.

ChatGPT impresses everyone with its writing capabilities; however, its proficiency in understanding and generating human-like text has inadvertently empowered threat actors to produce realistic and error-free phishing emails, which can be challenging to detect. The use of ChatGPT in cyberattacks poses a significant threat, particularly for attackers whose first language isn’t English. This tool helps them overcome language barriers, enabling the creation of more convincing phishing content.

Many of us in the information security sphere have sat in front of a console and furiously executed various queries while either mumbling internally or externally, with varying levels of stress and frustration: what is going on? When investigating a particular system, an odd event, or a declared incident, we are all attempting to answer this question in one way or another. Detections, documented threat hunts and security operations procedures do not manifest out of thin air.

The Evolution of Email Threats Email has long been a favored vector for cyber attacks. From the early days of simple phishing scams to the more advanced spear-phishing campaigns, email threats have consistently evolved. However, the integration of AI has brought about a paradigm shift in both the complexity and frequency of these attacks. AI-Powered Phishing Phishing attacks have traditionally relied on mass-distribution strategies, hoping to catch a small percentage of victims.

It is easy to assume that large language models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI) security products are a mysterious box of magic. While, in general, interactions with these models are abstract; you make an API call to a remote endpoint and receive a response without much exposure to the security controls around the model, there are security risks of AI to consider when using them.

There’s been a lot of excitement around generative AI technology over the past few years, especially in software development. Developers of all levels are turning to AI tools, such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, to support their coding efforts. In fact, GitHub found that 92% of developers use AI coding tools. However, many businesses are realizing that they need to be more cautious when using AI in software development.
