    What are AI models made of? Can they contain malware?

    Today I’ll talk about a technical topic related to the composition of LLMs. Are LLMs only data (weights) or do they contain code? If they contain code, can this code contain malware? And one additional question, if they have code, can they have vulnerabilities like heap overflows? In this episode I analyze what we exactly download when we download a model with Ollama or with the Hugging Face API.

    AI security track at RootedCon 2025

    Welcome everyone to this eight episode of Mind the Machine, a podcast about AI security and safety. I’m Florencio Cano. Today I’ll talk about my attendance to RootedCon 2025. RootedCon is the biggest cybersecurity congress in Spain and one of the biggest in Europe. This year it had a specific AI security track organized by Fernando Rubio and I had the pleasure to attend and be a speaker. Let’s talk about the presentations I was able to enjoy there.

    AI Applied to Cybersecurity

    In this episode we talk about the different ways companies are using AI, and specially LLMs, to improve their cybersecurity processes. We will talk about information gathering, protection, detection and response and what are known applications of AI in each of these areas. During this episode I mention multiple references that I'm sharing here: IntelEX: A LLM-driven Attack-level Threat Intelligence Extraction Framework https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10872  Comparison of Static Application Security Testing Tools and Large Language Models for Repo-level Vulnerability Detection https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.16235  Leveling Up Fuzzing: Finding more vulnerabilities with AI https://security.googleblog.com/2024/11/leveling-up-fuzzing-finding-more.html  RedFlag https://github.com/Addepar/RedFlag LLMSecConfig: An LLM-Based Approach for Fixing Software Container Misconfigurations https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.02009 AI and LLM Models to Analyze and Identify Сybersecurity Incidents https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3746/Short_6.pdf GenDFIR: Advancing Cyber Incident Timeline Analysis Through Retrieval Augmented Generation and Large Language Models https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.02572

    How cybercriminals are leveraging AI

    In this episode we talk about how cybercriminals are using AI to improve their operations. For example, for creating phising emails, fake voice and fake video. Also to create disinformation and fake news. We also discuss what we can do as a society to reduce these risks and what can we do in our organizations to protect ourselves against these threats.

    Agentic AI Security

    In this episode of Mind the Machine, host Florencio Cano talks about the concept of agentic AI, exploring what makes AI systems capable of autonomously performing tasks and the unique security challenges they present. While agentic AI can revolutionize industries, robust security measures are essential to manage the security risks. Two of the risks mentioned in the podcast are the risk of AI agents that interact with the operating systems and those that generate code.
