ChatGPT may not be used by all organizations and may even be banned. But that doesn't mean you don't have exposure to the security risks it contains. This post looks at why ChatGPT should be part of your threat landscape.

During a recent Proof of Concept (PoC) for Splunk SOAR with an existing customer of Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), I was asked if it was possible to send events/containers available in Splunk SOAR to Splunk ES as a Notable Event. While the reverse process of sending ES Notable Events to Splunk SOAR is highly documented, I was surprised to find hardly any documentation about the use case my customer brought up during the PoC. Hence, my cue to write my first ever Splunk blog!

Introduction: Fraudulent campaigns aimed at top-level executives through phishing are on the rise.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is often considered the strictest regulation in the world for securing users’ personal data, with fines for non-compliance reaching more than €20 million. The GDPR applies to all organizations processing the personal data of European Union (EU) residents. Do you find it daunting to read through the complex articles of this regulation?

Vulnerability management refers to continuously identifying, reporting, and remediating security risks within the cyber assets from networks to cloud platforms. It becomes vital that good cyber security measures with an extensive vulnerability management system be placed to ensure data and application safety.

This is the second blog in the series focused on PCI DSS, written by an AT&T Cybersecurity consultant. See the first blog relating to IAM and PCI DSS here. There are several issues implied in the PCI DSS Standard and its associated Report on Compliance which are rarely addressed in practice. This occurs frequently on penetration and vulnerability test reports that I’ve had to assess.

We seem to be fascinated by fraudsters, and recent documentaries prove this. The documentary landscape is populated with many fraud-centered stories, such as The Tinder Swindler, Fyre, The Con, Fake Heiress, The Inventor, and many others. Some have even been made into series, such as the story of Elisabeth Holmes in The Dropout, and the story of Anna Delvey in Inventing Anna. We just can’t get enough of it, and who can blame us? These stories are fascinating, entertaining, and engaging.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare organizations to perform regular security risk assessments to protect e-PHI. Penetration testing can help organizations with this requirement.

Remember The Sims? Well Stanford created a small virtual world with 25 ChatGPT-powered "people". The simulation ran for 2 days and showed that AI-powered bots can interact in a very human-like way. They planned a party, coordinated the event, and attended the party within the sim. A summary of it can be found on the Cornell University website. That page also has a download link for a PDF of the entire paper (via Reddit).
