The creation of an AI proof of concept that can autonomously build and execute a ransomware attack from scratch shouldn’t alarm CISOs who are prepared, says an expert. The defense against such a proposed new tool, said Taylor Grossman, director for digital security at the Institute for Security and Technology (IST), is simple: “Boring cyber hygiene practices.” “Being aware of where things are going is certainly helpful,” she said, “but there’s so much to be done already and a lot of those defensive measures can also help some of this AI-enabled ransomware as well.” She was commenting on a furor raised last week when security researchers at New York University published an article claiming to have created a prototype of large language model (LLM)-orchestrated ransomware. https://lnkd.in/gVihT3tn
