Cybersecurity in the Cognitive Era: Priming Your Digital Immune System

What might cybersecurity look like in the cognitive era? IBM recently conducted a survey of more than 700 security professionals, leaders and practitioners from 35 countries to get a sense of the toughest challenges they are facing, how these challenges are being confronted and whether cognitive security solutions are being considered as a potential and powerful new tool.

For insights and analysis from this survey, read “Cybersecurity in the Cognitive Era: Priming Your Digital Immune System.” Topics examined in the study include:

Security challenges, shortcomings and what security leaders are doing about them
Views on cognitive security solutions, including how they might help, readiness to implement and what might be holding them back
What those that are ready to implement cognitive-enabled security today are thinking and doing

Researchers develop malicious AI ‘worm’ targeting generative AI systems

2 min read - Researchers have created a new, never-seen-before kind of malware they call the "Morris II" worm, which uses popular AI services to spread itself, infect new systems and steal data. The name references the original Morris computer worm that wreaked havoc on the internet in 1988.The worm demonstrates the potential dangers of AI security threats and creates a new urgency around securing AI models.New worm utilizes adversarial self-replicating promptThe researchers from Cornell Tech, the Israel Institute of Technology and Intuit, used what’s…

What should an AI ethics governance framework look like?

4 min read - While the race to achieve generative AI intensifies, the ethical debate surrounding the technology also continues to heat up. And the stakes keep getting higher.As per Gartner, “Organizations are responsible for ensuring that AI projects they develop, deploy or use do not have negative ethical consequences.” Meanwhile, 79% of executives say AI ethics is important to their enterprise-wide AI approach, but less than 25% have operationalized ethics governance principles.AI is also high on the list of United States government concerns.…
