Comments by David Hoelzer, Fellow at SANS Institute: “With yet another AI product soon to be introduced to the public by Baidu, AI chatbots have taken the tech world by storm, but amid the hype and enormous potential, it’s important to get to grips with the reality and discover the real impact of advanced AI solutions. While the machine learning chatbot has game-changing capabilities, it’s also plumping up hackers’ toolkits, with criminals able to find ways to use, abuse, and trick the system into performing tasks that play right into the hackers’ hands."
“It’s so crucial for the threat hunting and security teams in organisations to understand how these tools work and what the realities of the technologies are. Without knowledge, it can be very difficult for teams to keep management informed about what the real risks and opportunities are.”
