AI-Driven Exploitation is Destroying Vulnerability Management. Here’s How to Handle It.
AI-driven exploitation timelines are rapidly shrinking, and they are not going to stop shrinking. Vulnerabilities are being discovered, reproduced, and weaponized faster than ever in the history of enterprise security. As a result, the window between a vulnerability being disclosed and indiscriminate exploitation observed across the internet is now measured in hours, not days. The…

This AI model backdoor attack stays hidden until you customize the model
Most teams that deploy AI start with a backbone model. They download a large pre-trained system, adapt it to a specific task, and put it into production. The download step carries a security question: the origin of the model. A research team built an attack called BadBone. It plants a backdoor inside a backbone model.…
