HackerOne Reveals Organizations Feel Confident Fighting AI Threats Despite Incidents

HackerOne, the leader in human-powered security, today revealed that although 95% of IT and security professionals say they are confident they can defend against AI-driven threats, one third admitted their organization experienced an AI-related security incident in the last year. These findings are the results of a research survey that shows a gap between organizational confidence and the reality of growing risks posed by an evolving AI threat landscape.

The research also provided a snapshot of how security teams are prioritizing security investment and solutions to combat AI risk:

Organizations are making significant allocations for AI security in budgets this year. Nearly three-quarters of respondents have reserved 20% or more security budget to address AI security risks.
Regulatory momentum and GenAI tool adoption are fueling AI security investment. Respondents cited AI-focused regulation (65%), the internal adoption of GenAI tools by employees (63%), and security incidents caused by AI (33%) as core drivers for growing AI security investment.
Security teams are using AI red teaming, or adversarial testing of AI systems, as a way to reduce AI risk. 37% of respondents say their organization has implemented AI red teaming initiatives to fortify AI systems against malicious attacks.

“We must all take GenAI threats seriously, but confidence should come with understanding, and none of us fully comprehend what the biggest GenAI security and safety threats are for most organizations quite yet,” said Michiel Prins, co-founder of HackerOne. “It’s clear some have recognized that the fastest way to understand the unique and novel risk to their organizations is through AI red teaming, which means they outrun cybercriminals as the first to identify and define the latest security and safety risks.”

HackerOne works with organizations, including Zoom, Snap, and PayPal, on AI red teaming engagements to improve the security and safety of AI tool and feature deployments. HackerOne offers both AI safety and AI security red teaming, in the form of pentest engagements, security assessments, and bug bounty programs. In February, HackerOne also announced its AI copilot Hai, which uses GenAI to enhance program insights for customers and hackers; Hai is now available to all HackerOne customers through the HackerOne platform.

Methodology

The CensusWide Survey was conducted between April 18-22, 2024. The nationwide online survey gathered insights from 300 U.S. IT and security professionals aged 18 and up at companies with 10 or more employees.

In January of 2024, Guardz raised a $18M Series A led by Glilot+, the early growth fund of Glilot Capital. Since its launch in 2023, the company has experienced rapid growth, having partnered with hundreds of MSPs and securing thousands of the businesses they manage in the US and Europe over the past year.

“Guardz offers a modern approach to protect the underserved SMB market, developing a unified cybersecurity solution that is built for MSPs from day one,” said Ken Marks, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & MSSP at SentinelOne. “This investment underscores SentinelOne’s unwavering commitment to pioneering cybersecurity solutions and amplifies our partner-first philosophy.”

KeyCaliber Launches Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) Assessment

Wojciech Hammond — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 11:38:20 +0000

KeyCaliber, the market innovator in continuous threat exposure management (CTEM), launched its automated exposure assessment to readily give customers actionable insight into its highest security priorities from a business perspective.

Today’s cybersecurity teams are overloaded and challenged to keep up with their growing number of vulnerabilities and alerts. The average enterprise has a backlog of 100,000 vulnerabilities and can generate anywhere from 5,000 to 200,000 security alerts per day. Prioritization becomes the key to combating the volume and effectively reducing risk to improve cyber resilience.

KeyCaliber’s innovative technology calculates exposure and risk as it relates to business context and investment. Using its proprietary Impact Score, via machine learning, each asset is given a business impact score. This allows security teams to know exactly which assets are mission-critical, or the “Crown Jewels”, and how to pinpoint and prioritize their efforts. This unique capability goes beyond typical security scorecards and applies the business context needed to make cybersecurity decisions and actions with confidence and business relevance.

“It’s not enough for enterprises to know their vulnerabilities and their external attack surface; it’s now imperative that they can quickly optimize security teams to ensure the right focus and investment,” said Roselle Safran, Founder and CEO of KeyCaliber, “Our customers are able to use KeyCaliber’s solution to identify their business risk and address their gaps with precision and efficiency.”

KeyCaliber’s continuous threat exposure management solution uses existing security telemetry and machine learning rather than exhausting security teams – and the rest of the enterprise – with interviews and surveys. Its newly released one-time assessment tool reveals which assets are most important, where their greatest business risk lies and provides remediation recommendations. This assessment tool gives cybersecurity leaders an immediate view of their risk and security landscape. Popular use cases for KeyCaliber’s assessments include ransomware readiness reports, business impact reviews, m&a diligence, asset management audits, and more.

KeyCaliber is expanding its service provider network by allowing its partners to deliver the CTEM assessments to its customers. Service provider customers are able to quickly see how to prioritize risks aligned with their strategic goals so they can secure what matters most to their success, and that builds great confidence in their service providers.

“Businesses need to have the ability to understand their most high risk assets. The role of today’s security programs is all about finding possible vulnerabilities and reducing the risk of assets as fast as possible,” said Seb Eades, Co-Founder of Considered Cyber Strategies. “We are working with KeyCaliber because we see real value in their CTEM assessments helping business and supporting cybersecurity teams in their roles.”

ChatGPT was the Most Popular Wikipedia Article in 2023 with Almost 50 Million Visits

Wojciech Hammond — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 21:53:35 +0000

The release of OpenAI`s ChatGPT marked a turning point for the global AI industry. The chatbot, which became the fastest-growing app in history with 100 million users in just two months, turned artificial intelligence into one of the biggest stories in 2023. So, it may come as no surprise that ChatGPT was the most visited Wikipedia article last year.

According to data presented by AltIndex.com, the ChatGPT article was visited almost 50 million times last year, far more than any other topic.

ChatGPT More Popular than Cristiano Ronaldo or Blockbuster Movies

When looking for answers, most people turn to Wikipedia. So, the most-viewed articles give a pretty good picture of what interests society and what knowledge people are seeking. According to data from the Wikimedia Foundation, English Wikipedia received more than 84 billion visits in 2023, with people reading topics from sports competitions and football players to box office movies. Still, none compete with ChatGPT, English Wikipedia’s most popular article of the year.

The fastest-growing app marked its first anniversary in November 2023. In that time, it reached over 180 million users and dominated headlines around the globe. In line with this huge public interest, the English Wikipedia ChatGPT article hit between 100,000 and 400,000 page views almost every day, bringing the 2023 total to a whopping 49.4 million page visits. This huge number is even more impressive when compared to other trending Wikipedia topics in 2023.

Statistics show the ChatGPT was more popular last year than the world`s highest-paid athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo, or blockbuster movies Oppenheimer and Barbie. The two movies got 28.3 million and 18 million page views in 2023, respectively, while the Cristiano Ronaldo article was clicked 17.4 million times.

Generative AI Industry to Grow by 250% in Five Years

The huge public interest in ChatGPT and generative AI proves the enormous potential this still-developing market has. A decade ago, it was hard to imagine companies and consumers worldwide using generative AI daily to automate tasks, write documents, do market research, or even basic coding. However, the surging demand for these tools will help generative AI become one of the largest revenue streams in the AI industry, generating 25% of total revenue by 2028.

According to a Statista survey, the generative AI industry is expected to grow 48% year-over-year and hit $66.6bn in 2024. By 2028, this figure will jump over $156bn, showing a massive 250% growth in five years.

The growing curiosity about how they operate and how much they can help has propelled its immense success. With new innovative tech designs set in motion, we can expect the domain to garner an impressive trajectory in the coming years.

The start of AI tools like ChatGPT aroused an intense buzz around automation and chatbot technology.
