Less than six months ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was largely considered to be in its infancy and primarily used for niche applications, like editing photos and keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. But that’s all changed. Since OpenAI introduced GPT-3.5 in November 2022, the possibilities of generative AI have come to dominate the popular imagination.
It is fair to say that few technologies have grabbed more news headlines in 2023 than ChatGPT. As an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize multiple business areas, including, but not limited to, marketing, operations, engineering, risk management, legal and employee optimization.
Despite the security controls that OpenAI has imposed on ChatGPT to try to make it a secure space capable of assisting users in a variety of tasks, cybercriminals have managed to exploit this technology for malicious purposes. Recent research has shown that this generative artificial intelligence is capable of creating a new branch of polymorphic malware with relative ease. The main risk lies in ChatGPT's versatility, which allows it to create code that could easily be used for malware.
Mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in all our lives. Ensuring their security and protecting sensitive information becomes paramount, especially when you have all your work-related apps and data synced. Every 39 seconds, a new assault occurs on the internet, and 24,000 malicious mobile apps are typically blocked everyday.
What is it: Agentless architecture refers to platforms and services that are built to run as cloud-native applications. They require no installation, patching, or other forms of long term upkeep on the part of a user. Why it matters: Agentless applications, especially agentless security applications have a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), in terms of man-hours saved in deployment, maintenance, and overhead.
