Red teaming exercises are one of the best ways to find novel risk, making them ideal for finding security and safety concerns in emerging technologies like generative AI. This can be done using a combination of penetration testing, time-bound offensive hacking competitions, and bug bounty programs. With this clear focus on safety, security, and accountability, red teaming practices are likely to be considered favorably by regulators worldwide, as well as aligning with the UK government's vision for responsible AI development.
"GenAI and AI have the potential to both disrupt and enhance security operations. As the acting gatekeepers - CISOs are under immense pressure," said Harold Rivas, CISO, Trellix. With cyberattacks on the rise, AI pressures mounting, and responsibilities growing, it's no surprise 90% of CISOs find themselves under increased pressure.
In this Help Net Security video, Itamar Sher, CEO of Seal Security, discusses how AI affects the risk and operational aspects of managing vulnerabilities in open-source software.
