The Future of Cybersecurity: AI, Exploits, and the CVE Database
In this special crossover episode of Cybersecurity Today and Hashtag Trending, the hosts explore the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. The conversation begins with an overview of the ongoing 'arms race' to find and exploit software vulnerabilities, focusing on how AI can change the game. The episode delves into the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) Database, its importance, and its management by the Mitre Corporation. The discussion then spotlights groundbreaking research by Israeli researchers Effie Wies and Nahman Khayet, who developed a method to automate the creation of exploits using AI, reducing the average exploit development time from 192 days to just 15 minutes. This revelation raises significant concerns about the future of cybersecurity and the need for organizations to accelerate their response times. The podcast also touches on the potential for AI to assist in writing more secure code and defending against vulnerabilities, calling for a more resilient approach to software development and deployment.
