  AI's operational blind spots

  Sep 11, 202621 min

  Businesses continue to embrace generative AI at a rapid pace. From copilots and chatbots to autonomous agents, an exciting world of new technology is opening up. The race to adopt these AI tools isn't without its perils, though. The mantra "garbage in, garbage out" is even more poignant when these systems come into play, with the potential for a cycle of bad data presenting a real risk to organizations. On this week's episode, Tim Pfaelzer, SVP and GM EMEA at Veeam, discusses operational blind spots, what they mean for businesses, and how they can balance their desire for a technical edge with data governance. IT leaders are facing major work device blind spots – and it's putting security at risk | IT Pro AI-assisted software development means security teams need an ‘engineering-first’ mindset | IT Pro

  Agents on the frontline: How Box is using AI to supercharge cybersecurity

  Sep 4, 202621 min

  Findings from Box’s State of AI in the Enterprise survey show 83% of enterprises are now running agents in some capacity. These bots are enabling teams to drive productivity and efficiency, but as with any new technology, smooth integration can be a challenge - and security risk. Recent agent-related incidents in the tech industry have sparked concerns about long-term security implications. In this week’s episode of the ITPro Podcast, Ross Kelly and Bobby Hellard speak with Box CISO Heather Ceylan to discuss how Box is using agents internally, and how enterprises can adopt the technology in a safe and secure manner. Highlights “I think for security teams, we can finally, you know, start having the capacity to outpace these attackers. So we've got five core areas of investment for agents for our security team in particular that we've invested in over probably the last year, and we're starting to measure ROI on those right now. “So the first one is in the SOC. I think that's probably the most obvious choice where we've got a lot of operational work. We see the same kinds of incidents. We're automating the triage, we're automating the enrichment, the log correlation, things like that that take a lot of human effort. “But there's still human judgment in the end in terms of what gets escalated to be an incident and what doesn't.” “We're not going to be able to move fast enough. So, we have agents kind of built throughout our software development process, doing those security design and architecture reviews, and if you think about it, it’s way more powerful than a human can be because those agents don't just necessarily call out design flaws; they can enforce fixes for those flaws.” “Things are changing quickly. Sometimes it feels like you take two steps forward and then you read something in the news and you're like, oh my gosh, we need to rethink everything. “So I think a lot of security teams are really feeling that now and getting a little bit of fatigue from that.“ “One of the things that we're trying to carry across all of these that I wasn't really thinking about a year ago, but I'm thinking a lot about now is having that multi-model approach. “We're not in a place where most of the work we do, we can't be reliant on a single model. If you look at vulnerability discovery, we're moving away from being tied to any one specific vendor or any one specific model because you're going to get better results when you take a multi-model approach.” Links AI is getting better at security – and it's doing it faster than expected Top security teams use AI agents, says Hack The Box AI is changing team structures in cybersecurity and creating new roles – here are the jobs in hot demand Can AI fight AI?
