The firm used its own AI models to determine that certain emails sent to its customers later identified as phishing attacks were probably AI-generated, according to Dan Shiebler, head of machine learning at Abnormal. "The danger of generative AI in email attacks is that it allows threat actors to write increasingly sophisticated content, making it more likely that their target will be deceived into clicking a link or following their instructions," he said, adding that AI can also be used to create greater personalization.

Congress should not only hurry up and push AI regulation forward but also go one step further and develop its own programs for AI. Legislators should reframe the AI debate from one about public regulation to one about public development. The money goes to a continent-wide network of public research labs, universities, and private companies jointly working on various parts of AI. The Europeans' focus is on knowledge transfer, developing the technology sector, use of AI in public administration, mitigating safety risks, and preserving fundamental rights.

Imagine if all you needed to do to turn a security policy into an enforced workflow was type it out as a prompt.... Modern security teams have witnessed many generations of solutions that make it easier to automate security workflows across tools, from manual scripting, to Security, Automation, Orchestration, and Response tools, to low-code/no-code platforms. Now, the next generation of security automation tooling is here and it's powered by generative AI. How Generative AI Unlocks No-Code Automation for Security.

Abstract: Steganography is the practice of encoding secret information into innocuous content in such a manner that an adversarial third party would not realize that there is hidden meaning. While this problem has classically been studied in security literature, recent advances in generative models have led to a shared interest among security and machine learning researchers in developing scalable steganography techniques.

Software-as-service spend management software firm G2 reported that products with artificial intelligence functionality - particularly large language models - are among the top three fastest-growing software classes across the over-2,000 categories the company tracks. Spend increasing, buyers say For most buyers, AI functionality is the dish, not the garnish Struggle to balance security and urgency Time exerts pressure on software vetting Embracing software integration Software incumbents in the catbird seat Recommendations for sellers Spend increasing, buyers say.

Microsoft announced today that users would also be able to communicate with Bing Chat, the AI-powered chat-based version of its Bing search engine, via voice commands. "We know many of you love using voice input for chat on Mobile. It's now also available on desktop by clicking on the microphone icon in the Bing Chat box," the Bing Team said.

At its LIVE 2023 event in Las Vegas this week, Cisco revealed an array of solutions, paving stones on its path to a platform strategy called Cisco Security Cloud. In an interview with TechRepublic about Cisco LIVE 2023, Patel said the new technologies addressed a need to simplify security operations and address security considerations caused by the shift to hybrid work.

In addition to being consistent the principles of regulation should be flexible, both to cater for the speed of technological development and to enable businesses to apply appropriate requirements to their capabilities and risk profile. Regardless of what regulation is coming, it is worthwhile for every business to understand how the risk is being evaluated, the current exposure level, and how standards and regulation will affect the company.

Sextortion is a form of online blackmail where malicious actors threaten their targets with publicly leaking explicit images and videos they stole or acquired, typically demanding money payments for withholding the material. FBI warns that sextortionists are now scraping publicly available images of their targets, like innocuous pictures and videos posted on social media platforms.

Sextortion is a form of online blackmail where malicious actors threaten their targets with publicly leaking explicit images and videos they stole or acquired, typically demanding money payments for withholding the material. "As of April 2023, the FBI has observed an uptick in sextortion victims reporting the use of fake images or videos created from content posted on their social media sites or web postings, provided to the malicious actor upon request, or captured during video chats," reads the alert published on the FBI's IC3 portal.
