About SecurityWeek Cyber Insights | At the end of 2022, SecurityWeek liaised with more than 300 cybersecurity experts from over 100 different organizations to gain insight into the security issues of today – and how these issues might evolve during 2023 and beyond. The result is more than a dozen features on subjects ranging from AI, quantum encryption, and attack surface management to venture capital, regulations, and criminal gangs.
SecurityWeek Cyber Insights 2023 | Artificial Intelligence – The pace of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption is increasing throughout industry and society. This is because governments, civil organizations and industry all recognize greater efficiency and lower costs available from the use of AI-generated automation. The process is irreversible.
What is still unknown is the degree of danger that may be introduced when adversaries start to use AI as an effective weapon of attack rather than a tool for beneficial improvement. That day is coming web3 and will begin to emerge from 2023.
All roads lead to 2023
Alex Polyakov, CEO and co-founder of Adversa.AI, focuses on 2023 for primarily historical and statistical reasons. “The years 2012 to 2014,” he says, “saw the beginning of secure AI research in academia. Statistically, it takes three to five years for academic results to progress into practical attacks on real applications.” Examples of such attacks were presented at Black Hat, Defcon, HITB, and other Industry conferences starting in 2017 and 2018.
“Then,” he continued, “it takes another three to five years before real incidents are discovered in the wild. We are talking about next year, and some massive Log4j-type vulnerabilities in AI will be exploited web3 massively.”
Starting from 2023, attackers will have what is called an ‘exploit-market fit’. “Exploit-market fit refers to a scenario where hackers know the ways of using a particular vulnerability to exploit a system and get valu ..
