Frequently Asked Questions
How is AI changing the cybersecurity threat landscape?+
AI enables attackers to automate vulnerability discovery, craft highly personalized phishing campaigns, generate malware variants at scale, and accelerate exploitation. Defenders are responding with AI-powered detection, behavioral analytics, and automated response systems.
What is zero trust security?+
Zero trust is a security model that assumes no user, device, or network segment is inherently trustworthy. Access is granted based on continuous verification of identity, device health, and context — minimizing lateral movement if a breach occurs.
How should enterprises secure AI systems?+
Enterprises should treat AI models and pipelines as critical assets: securing training data, monitoring for model poisoning and prompt injection, restricting API access, auditing outputs for data leakage, and including AI systems in incident response plans.
