Cyber threat actors possess certain advantages in cyberspace: they can choose from a wide variety of targets and need only succeed once. In contrast, defenders must protect an increasingly complex terrain and need to be successful at all times. This dynamic, referred to as the “Defender’s Dilemma,” has plagued organizations and users for decades. We believe AI affords the best opportunity to upend the Defender’s Dilemma, tilting the scales of cyberspace to give defenders a decisive advantage over cyber attackers. We’re applying AI to security in three ways: 1. Secure AI from the ground up 2. Empower defenders over attackers 3. Advance research cooperation to generate scientific breakthroughs Read our full report on how AI can strengthen digital security here: https://lnkd.in/gJFJAXZm

🔒✨ The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly, and a new breed of attackers has emerged, aiming not just to steal data but to manipulate or alter it. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into cyber weaponry heralds a concerning trend: the rise of subtle, human-mimicking attacks that leverage AI's adaptive capabilities. These 'Offensive AI' initiatives are poised to mutate and expertly compromise systems, minimizing detection chances, and scaling malicious operations. This isn't a distant concept; the foundational elements for AI-powered cyber threats are already in place. Here are three key ways adversarial AI will impact cybersecurity: 1️⃣ - Impersonating Trusted Users: AI-driven attacks will learn and replicate individual behaviors, crafting near-indistinguishable messages that seem authentic. Even the most vigilant individuals will find it challenging to discern these crafted communications from genuine ones, making our inboxes vulnerable entry points for attacks. 2️⃣ - Stealthy Presence: Advanced threat actors already operate covertly in systems for extended periods. AI will further enhance this stealth, learning communication channels and navigating systems discreetly. Its ability to blend into routine activities will facilitate widespread compromise across digital environments. 3️⃣ - Swift and Precise Attacks: Offensive AI will expedite the sophistication of attacks, achieving in moments what currently takes skilled technicians months. Its understanding of context and rapid data analysis will heighten effectiveness and make detection even more challenging. This evolution poses a significant challenge to traditional security controls. The predictability they rely on is no match for AI's evolving capabilities. As AI resistance to threat categorization grows, it's clear that legacy security approaches will struggle to combat these increasingly sophisticated threats. The future of cybersecurity demands proactive adaptation and innovative defenses to counter this imminent AI-driven landscape. https://lnkd.in/ek9YiNqW #CybersecurityTrends #AIinCybersecurity #FutureOfSecurity 🛡️🤖🔍🔓📈

New joint guidance from Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Security Agency's AI Intelligence Security Center, and international partner agencies issued best practices for deploying and operating externally developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Goals of the new international interagency guidance include: 1. Improve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AI systems. 2. Ensure there are appropriate mitigations for known vulnerabilities in AI systems. 3. Provide methodologies and controls to protect, detect, and respond to malicious activity against AI systems and related data and services. #cisa #ai #aisecurity Maureen Holohan Chauncey Goss Becky Leggieri Cameron Leuthy

Cyber defenders leveraging data and AI could revolutionize the game, enabling businesses to operate at machine scale, surpassing human limitations. This synergy empowers defenders to identify and thwart cyber threats more efficiently, swiftly containing attacks to minimize damage. The shift from mere detection and remediation to proactive prediction and prevention then becomes feasible. #AI #Cybersecurity #GameChanger #TechAdvancement #SecurityInnovation #DataDrivenDefense #AIProtection #CyberDefenders

One of the greatest fears about #AI is #cybersecurity. And this is the focus behind the 20-page agreement signed by 22 countries, urging AI developers to focus on "secure by design" #AIsystems. The agreement is the latest in a series of initiatives - few of which carry teeth - by governments around the world to shape the development of AI, whose weight is increasingly being felt in industry and society at large. Learn more about the agreement and what it means in the article below.
