ON APR 15, Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency (CSA) issued an advisory warning that frontier artificial intelligence models can reduce the time required to identify vulnerabilities and engineer exploits – from months to hours.
The emergence of these models is a cause for concern for all organisations. The potential to identify vulnerabilities in code will result in increased volume and speed of attacks on IT infrastructure.
According to a recent VulnCheck study, 28.73 per cent of zero-day exploits – vulnerabilities unknown to developers and defenders – happen within 24 hours. Frontier AI models could potentially worsen the situation for defenders.
