Cybersecurity execs face a new battlefront: 'It takes a good-guy AI to fight a bad-guy AI'
Briefly

Generative AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs), have surfaced new security threats that may take organizations by surprise. Notably, attacks like prompt injections and data exfiltration exploit the unpredictability of these models. The significant breach involving OpenAI illustrates the monetary risks associated with these vulnerabilities. Further complicating the landscape is the release of DeepSeek-R1, a competing LLM, which raised concerns over intellectual property theft after allegations emerged that it had distilled OpenAI's models for its own training. The financial implications of these developments have been profound.
DeepSeek surprised the world with the January 20 release of DeepSeek-R1, a reasoning model that ranked only a hair behind OpenAI's best models on popular AI benchmarks.
The largest security breach I'm aware of, in monetary terms, happened recently, and it was an attack against OpenAI, highlighting the financial risks of LLM vulnerabilities.
