Most cybersecurity professionals believe AI will significantly impact their jobs, according to a new survey by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium; with only 35% of the respondents having already witnessed AI's effects on their jobs. The impact is not necessarily a positive or negative impact, but rather an indicator that cybersecurity pros expect their jobs to change.
Microsoft announced that it caught Chinese, Russian, and Iranian hackers using its AI tools-presumably coding tools-to improve their hacking abilities. In collaboration with OpenAI, we are sharing threat intelligence showing detected state affiliated adversaries-tracked as Forest Blizzard, Emerald Sleet, Crimson Sandstorm, Charcoal Typhoon, and Salmon Typhoon-using LLMs to augment cyberoperations.
State and county officials have been urged to use paper ballots wherever possible over electronic ones, and ensure all election offices have procedures in place to handle potentially lethal substances, specifically fentanyl, anthrax, and ricin. On election threats, "We anticipate AI being leveraged for deception campaigns," said Michelle Alvarez, strategic threat analysis manager for IBM X-Force.
Google has announced that it's open-sourcing Magika, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tool to identify file types, to help defenders accurately detect binary and textual file types. "Magika...
Google has open sourced Magika, an in-house machine-learning-powered file identifier, as part of its AI Cyber Defense Initiative, which aims to give IT network defenders and others better automated tools. Enter Magika, which uses a trained model to rapidly identify file types from file data, and it's an approach the Big G thinks works well enough to use in production.
