CSO Online, Thursday, October 17th, 2024
From vulnerability assessments to penetration testing, AI and large language models are profoundly changing the fundamentals of offsec.
Artificial intelligence, especially large language models (LLMs) and the agents powered by them, has been transformative across the cybersecurity spectrum, and the game-changing technology has been nothing short of revolutionary in the realm of offensive cybersecurity.
The introduction of AI 'has triggered a profound transformation in the landscape of offensive security, including vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and red teaming,' according to a recent report by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). 'This shift redefines AI from a narrow-use case to a versatile and powerful general-purpose technology.'
