Is Your Security Stack Ready for Generative AI?

Ashley Leonard of Syxsense examines the current and future state of Generative AI, while posing the question, “Is your security stack ready?” Businesses are eager to unlock AI’s full potential to easily create new content (through text, audio, images, synthetic data, and more), and to some extent, quicken the technological evolution of their existing products and services. While the craze is understandable, there are also concerns about transformative technology – especially when it comes to cybersecurity. For example, there have already been reports of threat actors abusing generative AI through indirect prompt injections that compromise LLM-integrated applications. And Meta’s 65-billion parameter language model was also recently leaked, enabling threat actors to carry out more personalized spam and phishing attacks, and a host of other fraudulent cyber activities. But misusing technology is just one item on a long list of concerns associated with generative AI and cybersecurity. Sadly, integrating the technology could also leave your business susceptible to copyright infractions, efficacy issues, employee displacement, and ethical missteps. However, the upside of AI in security is too big to ignore and when applied responsibly, it can accelerate and enhance your security posture (or offering).
