AI Apocalypse: What Happens When Artificial Intelligence Goes Rogue?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an integral part of modern society, from chatbots like ChatGPT to self-driving cars that navigate our roads. With its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and make decisions based on that information, AI has the potential to revolutionize nearly every industry and transform our world in extraordinary ways. However, there is a growing concern about what happens when these intelligent machines malfunction or become malicious. It is essential to keep in mind the risks of AI becoming a menace and take proactive steps to ensure it remains a helpmate and a force for good. This article aims to…

New Research Finds Organizations Need To Adopt A Holistic Approach To Improve Cyber Readiness

Only 29% of respondents are highly confident they have a robust mechanism to test their environments against the most current threat vectors Cambridge, UK – Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security artificial intelligence, today announced a new IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Darktrace, ‘Building the Case for a Virtuous Cycle in Cybersecurity’*. The research was conducted to identify the key challenges facing cyber security professionals operating in increasingly noisy cyber security environments, and the report outlines recommended solutions to bolster cyber readiness. IDC conducted a survey of 300 organizations across the U.S. and Europe spanning multiple verticals including financial services, transportation,…

Deepfakes and Cyber Espionage: Is That Really Your Boss on the Phone?

Imagine a finance officer receiving a frantic, late-night phone call from a CEO. The executive requests the transfer of $5 million to a specified account, and the finance officer complies. The problem? The call came from a cyber criminal using deepfake technology to impersonate the CEO. The vastness of the internet and the nefarious nature of the dark web have made the tools for cyber fraud more freely available and more convincing than ever. Two cyber threats — deepfake technology and insiders selling access to company information — are putting organizations at a greater risk of financial loss and much…

Top 5 AI Trends To Watch Out For In 2023

AI is being adapted by businesses large and small at a growing pace. It has made lives easier, process efficient and even bridging the skill gap. According to an IBM report 35% of companies are currently using AI and 42% reported exploring the same. The global artificial intelligence market reached a value of around USD 1.2 trillion in 2020. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of about 23% in the forecast period of 2023-2028 to reach a value of about USD 6 trillion by 2026. Here are the top 5 AI trends to watch out for in 2023:…

Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as a Powerful Cybersecurity Tool

Fight sophisticated cyber attacks with AI and ML When “virtual” became the standard medium in early 2020 for business communications from board meetings to office happy hours, companies like Zoom found themselves hot in demand. They also became prime targets for the next big cyberattack. In the case of Zoom, hackers succeeded in April 2020, with a large data breach that exposed an estimated 500,000 user passwords. This breach, along with the thousands of daily reported cyber attacks in that year show that of the major threats facing businesses today, cybercrime nears the top of the list. Due to a combination of factors,…

Thinking Like A Cyber-Attacker To Protect User Data

A component of computer processors that connects different parts of the chip can be exploited by malicious agents who seek to steal secret information from programs running on the computer, MIT researchers have found. Modern computer processors contain many computing units, called cores, which share the same hardware resources. The on-chip interconnect is the component that enables these cores to communicate with each other. But when programs on multiple cores run simultaneously, there is a chance they can delay one another when they use the interconnect to send data across the chip at the same time. By monitoring and measuring…

Stronger Security For Smart Devices

Researchers are pushing to outpace hackers and develop stronger protections that keep data safe from malicious agents who would steal information by eavesdropping on smart devices. Much of the work done to prevent these “side-channel attacks” has focused on the vulnerability of digital processors. For instance, hackers can measure the electric current drawn by a smartwatch’s processor and use it to reconstruct secret data being processed, such as a password. Recently, MIT researchers published a paper in the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, which demonstrated that analog-to-digital converters in smart devices, which encode real-world signals from sensors into digital values that can…

Keeping Web-Browsing Data Safe From Hackers

Malicious agents can use machine learning to launch powerful attacks that steal information in ways that are tough to prevent and often even more difficult to study. Attackers can capture data that “leaks” between software programs running on the same computer. They then use machine-learning algorithms to decode those signals, which enables them to obtain passwords or other private information. These are called “side-channel attacks” because information is acquired through a channel not meant for communication. Researchers at MIT have shown that machine-learning-assisted side-channel attacks are both extremely robust and poorly understood. The use of machine-learning algorithms, which are often…
