    Your AI is not as secure as you think it is, and here's why

    Send us a text David Brockler, AI security researcher at NCC Group, explores the rapidly evolving landscape of AI security and the fundamental challenges posed by integrating Large Language Models into applications. We discuss how traditional security approaches fail when dealing with AI components that dynamically change their trustworthiness based on input data. • LLMs present unique security challenges beyond prompt injection or generating harmful content • Traditional security models focusing on component-based permissions don't work with AI systems • "Source-sink chains" are key vulnerability points where attackers can manipulate AI behavior • Real-world examples include data exfiltration through markdown image rendering in AI interfaces • Security "guardrails" are insufficient first-order controls for protecting AI systems • The education gap between security professionals and actual AI threats is substantial • Organizations must shift from component-based security to data flow security when implementing AI • Development teams need to ensure high-trust AI systems only operate with trusted data Watch for NCC Group's upcoming release of David's Black Hat presentation on new security fundamentals for AI and ML systems.

    The Future of AI: Security, Ethics, and Human Augmentation

    Send us a text Artificial intelligence is developing at unprecedented speed, becoming a transformative force that may rival nuclear technology in its impact on human civilization. The rapid evolution of AI capabilities presents both extraordinary opportunities and profound challenges that we're only beginning to understand. • AI development is accelerating faster than any previous technology, with research papers becoming outdated within weeks or months • Current AI systems function primarily as prediction engines rather than truly conscious entities, despite sometimes exhibiting behaviors that appear sentient • Companies often implement AI solutions without clearly understanding the problems they're trying to solve or the technology's actual capabilities • AI regulation is developing globally, with the EU currently leading efforts to establish comprehensive frameworks and security standards • Most organizations will benefit more from using AI to augment human capabilities rather than attempting to replace workers entirely • The cybersecurity job market has become increasingly competitive, with automation making application processes more challenging for job seekers • When looking for jobs on LinkedIn, changing the URL parameter from 84,000 to 3,600 helps find postings from the last hour instead of the last 24 hours Connect with Chris Cochran on LinkedIn to learn more about his work in AI and cybersecurity or to request assistance with making connections in the field.

    Breaking the Sky: How Vulnerable Are Our Satellites?

    Send us a text Grant McCracken shares his groundbreaking PhD research on satellite security, revealing how vulnerable our orbital infrastructure is to cyberattacks and the urgent need for better security measures before quantum computing renders current encryption obsolete. • Satellites face unique security challenges with limited patching windows of only 15 minutes during orbit • Most satellites run on outdated technology with numerous vulnerabilities that can allow complete takeover • A real-world attack in 2022 showed how Russia could penetrate ground stations and control entire satellite constellations • Post-quantum encryption will be essential within 5-10 years according to global experts • CubeSats (small satellites) can be purchased and tested by anyone, creating both research opportunities and security risks • Bug bounty programs provide unique opportunities for security researchers to specialize and potentially earn substantial rewards • Zero trust principles must be applied to satellite security before launch since patching in orbit is extremely difficult • The infrastructure dependent on satellites includes GPS, cellular communications, and financial transactions You can find Grant on LinkedIn by searching "Grant McCracken Dark Horse" or contact him directly at grant@darkhorsesh.com. His company Dark Horse Security helps organizations at all budget levels improve their security posture, including pro bono work for those who cannot afford security services.
