We have a ton of new vulnerabilities that have emerged from widespread use of AI systems. But at the same time the frontier AI labs are releasing tools like Mythos that purport to automate/simplify the identification of vulnerabilities.
Between these two trends, I struggle to see what the future holds for the security industry.
Either way, as is always the case with the tech industry, the incumbents in this space will be getting paid the big bucks and the consumer will ultimately hold the bag. We absolutely need tougher data privacy / security laws & I wonder what catastrophic event will force law makers and voters to take this issue seriously.
My feeling is the defender wins in the long-run. There's only a finite number of bugs and vulnerabilities.
