AI gives cyber attackers the advantage – for now

Breaking Analysis & theCUBE's upcoming episodes [AI gives cyber attackers the advantage – for now]( The increasing complexity of cloud systems, the proliferation of tools and the rise of AI have significantly tilted the advantage toward cyber attackers. Alongside corporate inertia, AI-washing, inconsistencies in large language models and the rapid pace of change, it appears that -- at least for the time being -- adversaries have the upper hand over defenders. Additionally, organizations face macro spending challenges, leading to tough budget decisions, including funding AI experiments and deployments. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that 45% of organizations are already utilizing LLMs in production, potentially enhancing the efficiency of security operations teams in the future and moving the security landscape toward a state of relative balance.   In this week’s Analysis]( with Dave Vellante share key takeaways from Supercloud 3 – AI meets cloud security – and put forth new spending data from the latest Enterprise Technology Research survey that shows which security firms are best positioned in the AI race to capitalize on the wave. Supercloud 3: Bridging the gap between hype and LLM deployments “Around 45% of customers surveyed have LLMs in production. We talked about this at Supercloud 3, where the hype and the deployments are actually aligned,” Vellante said. “While these aren't necessarily directly targeted, and direct hits at security, one can see code generation helping developers better secure their code. Chatbots could help deal with incoming requests or inquiries to security teams summarizing documentation or logs and streamlining run reports. They're all things that could make security teams more productive.”   Find Vellante’s full Breaking Analysis with the latest on AI, LLMs and cybersecurity.
