AI Code Generation: Code Security & Quality, Benefits, Risks & Top Tools

AI code generation is exactly what it sounds like — using artificial intelligence to write and improve code. Tools powered by large language models (LLMs) and specialized AI systems can help developers generate boilerplate code, fix bugs, and even refactor entire sections of an application. And developers are leaning in. According to a GitHub survey, 92% of developers have already used AI coding tools at work or on personal projects.

#198 - AI risk and safety with John Vaina, AI Researcher & Red Teamer

On this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast we talk with John Vaina, AI Researcher and Red Teamer, about AI risk and safety. John is an expert in AI risk, safety, and security. John currently works as an AI red team operator, tackling some of the most complex challenges in the field. His work spans traditional cybersecurity concerns, such as identifying vulnerabilities in AI systems, to cutting-edge tasks like testing for emergent behaviors and conducting AI alignment and safety audits.

Autonomous Agentic AI-Enabled Deepfake Social Engineering Malware is Coming Your Way!

I’ve been in the cybersecurity industry for over 36 years. Surprisingly, hackers and malware haven't changed all that much. The malware today is not all that different from the stuff I was disassembling for John McAfee back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A lot of the involved programming languages, technology and communication channels have changed, but not how malware operated and what it did. We had ransomware back in 1989. We had polymorphic, crypto-morphing malware back then.

Global expansion in Generative AI: a year of growth, newcomers, and attacks

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a broad concept encompassing machines that simulate or duplicate human cognitive tasks, with Machine Learning (ML) serving as its data-driven engine. Both have existed for decades but gained fresh momentum when Generative AI, AI models that can create text, images, audio, code, and video, surged in popularity following the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022.

Introducing Alfred for fully autonomous AI-built vulnerability assessments

We are excited to announce Detectify Alfred, a revolutionary system that uses AI to completely autonomously collect and prioritize threat intelligence and generate high-fidelity security tests for the CVEs that are most likely to be exploited in the wild.

"AI is a massive power for good, but are we ready for it?"

AI is a powerful tool, but are we truly prepared for its impact? The balance between AI's benefits and the ethical concerns surrounding privacy, data security, and automation is more critical than ever. As technology advances, ensuring AI serves people—not the other way around—has become a global priority.
