Attackers also have all the high end tools

in LeoFinance3 days ago

Once upon a time, there were only a few well-experienced hackers who were capable of hacking into a system. With the help of technological advancement and the way we use AI and ML, it is easy to do penetration testing and find out the vulnerabilities. Today security job is something that is of high demand. Companies invest a lot on security because every day there is a new technological advancement, and for all these things a protection is required on the application level.

I have to admit that the technology world is drastically improving after AI got introduced. Today, companies have been investing a lot of money into security. Getting the code created on GPT or a similar AI is a good thing, but we have to make sure the code is fully correct and secure. That job is being done by experts who are experienced and mostly humans. Security checks are becoming the top priority these days, and many people are applying for those security jobs, and they are getting the best demand.

Chat GPT is also helping hackers

We think that we have all the knowledge with us to add protection to our application, but we have to remember the fact that hackers also have all the applications that are required to think differently. Today, people are building applications or writing code with low code or no-code applications that can have additional vulnerabilities. People get the code from AI using a chat application. The answers that are provided by the GPT is also predictable, and the same answer is also given to a hacker.

Hackers interact with GPT and brainstorm a lot of things and find new and unique ways to hack the system. Unlike old days, there are software or AI tools available that can review the complete code that we upload and provide the context of the code. If we have some questions on the code, we can ask the questions to GPT and get the answers. At the same time, it can also list out the vulnerabilities available in the code that can create an entry point for hackers. Open source developers will have to be very careful now because AI tools can analyze code faster than humans.

Security is an ever-changing or ever-demanding field where it is hard to predict the outcome. Since it is no longer humans that is thinking but the thinking happens with AI as well, we will need more tools designed to counter the thinking of AI. If there is Ultron, then we need Jarvis or a powerful Jarvis to counter Ultron. That's how we have to advance in terms of technology and beat an AI with another AI. The future will move in that direction if I'm not wrong.

Technology is Moving in a verse way... AI is doing the most in our generation today..

I believe with you, if some of the applications can be used to create an application, then AI can decode the same application..

AI democratizes the ability to generate code and does it in a way that i honestly never thought i would be able to experience... but at the same time it creates a huge challenge — how do we protect what we expose in the form of a website, an application or maybe a simple script?

In reality, right now i think there are many of us who are trying to build something, to learn, to innovate. But the bottom line is that this very enthusiasm can expose us to the most embarrassing situations.... i think many will press😊 "Run" or "Deploy" with a smile on their faces and with zero thoughts about what the code is doing behind it.... Code generated with AI seems magical, but if you don't understand what it really does, it becomes a beautifully packaged vulnerability.

How do you protect your environment? How do you protect your code? How do you learn to think defensively in a world where AI can be both an ally and an adversary? This stuff really requires learning.

Sometimes I actually use to feel we give too much for the hackers to penetrate

chatgpt could teach how detect and attack certain vulnerabilities but other kind of attacks and more importan are the internal, for example if we are working together and the company has their chat system it could be attack it by a simply sticker with code behind as a byte :D

AI can be two edge swords that can help you create something so easily, but it can also be used to help the hacker ruin the system that we have. Frequent security check should always be applied to keep thing secure.

Modern technology has made it easier to hack things, so big companies keep checking their security systems to ensure they don't suffer major losses.

Harked, so funny how most AI can't even "Art" spell yet.

The fact that ChatGPT was created for good purpose is good but how about attackers, they solely depend on it now and ChatGPT will answer the questions of everyone because it’s a robot and can’t tell the ones with good intentions or not
It’s really crazy

We have to accept that with the advancement of technology, just as powerful tools have come into our hands, hackers have also gained similar tools. Therefore, we should create higher defense systems and test them regularly. Thank you for highlighting such an important issue.

I see AI like fire, very useful but dangerous if not handled right. Hackers using the same tools we use to build stuff is a recipe for big problems. Security really needs to level up before things get out of hand, because if they do with tech like this it's a huge mess

The rapid evolution of AI empowers , defends and at the same time challenges security, making continuous innovation essential to stay ahead in the cybersecurity race.
