What Is AI?

What is AI really? Throughout this article, I will remove the hype and get to the most honest answer ever. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, or at least the first version of how we think of it today, was “invented” in the 1950s…a long time ago. Since then, various computer scientists and groups have worked on different iterations, often using different names, including machine learning and neural networks.

Bitsight AI Empowers Microsoft's New Threat Intelligence Briefing Agent

Threat Intelligence (TI) has become the secret weapon of modern security teams—essential for identifying possible emerging threats before they escalate. But TI is only as valuable as its accuracy, relevancy, and timeliness. Unfortunately, many traditional TI approaches can no longer keep up, as security teams are plagued with information overload: too many signals, too little context, and limited resources to process everything. This is why the coupling of GenAI and TI is a game changer.

The Real AI Agent Risk Isn't Data Loss. It's Unauthorized Action.

Your AI Agent just updated a vendor’s payment details in your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system based on a seemingly harmless prompt. No data was exfiltrated. No access policy was violated. But now, a $250,000 payment is sitting in a fraudulent bank account. This is the new face of AI risk. As enterprises adopt AI Agents - either off the shelf or custom built, security teams are facing a fast-moving shift.
