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

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.…

GenAI: The next frontier in AI security threats

3 min read - Threat actors aren’t attacking generative AI (GenAI) at scale yet, but these AI security threats are coming. That prediction comes from the 2024 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index. Here’s a review of the threat intelligence types underpinning that report.Cyber criminals are shifting focusIncreased chatter in illicit markets and dark web forums is a sign of interest. X-Force hasn’t seen any AI-engineered campaigns yet. However, cyber criminals are actively exploring the topic. In 2023, X-Force found the terms “AI” and “GPT” mentioned…

How AI can be hacked with prompt injection: NIST report

3 min read - The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) closely observes the AI lifecycle, and for good reason. As AI proliferates, so does the discovery and exploitation of AI cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Prompt injection is one such vulnerability that specifically attacks generative AI. In Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations, NIST defines various adversarial machine learning (AML) tactics and cyberattacks, like prompt injection, and advises users on how to mitigate and manage them. AML tactics extract information…
