The rise of the ‘bionic hacker’ -- AI’s impact on attack and defense
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming both attack and defense according to a report released today by crowdsourced security platform HackerOne.
It finds that organizations have expanded their AI program adoption by 270 percent this year, while HackerOne’s platform reported a 540 percent surge in prompt injection vulnerabilities to make them the fastest-growing threat in AI security.
Attacks evolve too quickly for businesses to maintain truly resilient security
As organizations embrace digital transformation and AI, security teams face mounting pressure to defend an ever-expanding attack surface according to a new report.
The research from Cobalt suggests traditional reactive security measures cannot keep pace with modern threats, particularly when adversaries leverage automation and AI to scale their attacks. 60 percent of respondents believe attackers are evolving too quickly for them to maintain a truly resilient security posture.
