Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has already become the defining technology of the 2020s, with users embracing it to do everything from designing travel itineraries to creating music. Today’s software developers are leveraging GenAI en masse to write code, reducing their workload and helping reclaim their valuable time. However, it’s important developers account for potential security risks that can be introduced through GenAI coding tools.

In this episode of Trust Issues, host David Puner welcomes back Lavi Lazarovitz, Vice President of Cyber Research at CyberArk Labs, for a discussion covering the latest developments in generative AI and the emerging cyberthreats associated with it. Lavi shares insights on how machine identities are becoming prime targets for threat actors and discusses the innovative research being conducted by CyberArk Labs to understand and mitigate these risks.

Data privacy and security are critical concerns for businesses using Large Language Models (LLMs), especially when dealing with sensitive information like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI). Companies typically rely on data masking tools such as Microsoft’s Presidio to safeguard this data. However, these tools often struggle in scenarios involving LLMs/AI Agents.

This is the third blog in our series, where we embark on a journey of Branch Transformation with the Next Gen SASE Branch solution. Built on the Netskope One SASE platform, the Next Gen SASE Branch solution combines its three layers–Context-aware SASE Fabric, Zero Trust Hybrid Security, and a SkopeAI-powered Cloud Orchestrator–into a unified cloud offering.

Until 2023, India’s data privacy landscape was largely unregulated – businesses didn’t have to worry about how they process and store data. Sensitive customer data like Personally Identifiable Information (PII) could travel around the world in 80 days and land back to its source – without violating a single regulation. While the unregulated digital space was a boon for data dependent businesses, it was a bane for customer privacy.

For most companies today, the question isn’t whether a data breach will occur, but rather when it will occur. This predicament is primarily due to the sheer volume of data, the challenges associated with monitoring sensitive data, and the transition to remote work. Consequently, IT security teams are constantly navigating a dynamic and enduring risk landscape, making it exceptionally challenging to maintain data security and implement effective sensitive data protection strategies.
