GenAI Security: When Your AI’s Got More Holes Than Swiss Cheese!
Security professionals are clamoring for a “strategic pause” in generative AI deployment, but with threat actors not exactly on vacation, that’s wishful thinking. As 72% of them list genAI as the top IT risk, it seems AI might be the only employee working harder than them lately.
Hot Take:
Let’s face it, folks: in the race of AI versus human security teams, it seems like AI is running a marathon while we’re just trying to finish a 5K. As security professionals call for a “strategic pause” in generative AI (genAI) deployment, it’s clear we’re all just trying to catch our breath before the robots leave us in the digital dust. But let’s be real – the cyber baddies aren’t exactly hitting snooze on this tech, so maybe it’s time we upgrade our sneakers instead of hitting pause.
Key Points:
- 48% of security professionals want a “strategic pause” in genAI deployment to recalibrate defenses.
- 94% have witnessed a significant rise in genAI adoption over the past year.
- 36% admit genAI deployment is outpacing their team’s ability to manage it.
- Only 21% of serious vulnerabilities in genAI tools are resolved.
- Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection and prompt injection.
