Artificial Intelligence security is more critical than ever. In this blog, “Securing AI: New Threats Every Business Must Know,” we’ll explore how the newest models—like GPT-4o, Gemini, and agentic AI—introduce advanced business capabilities and unprecedented cybersecurity risks.
The Latest AI Security Risks
- Data Poisoning: Attackers can sneak in malicious data during AI training, causing models to deliver misleading or dangerous outputs.
- Model Privacy Attacks: Hackers attempt to extract private information from AI models by reverse engineering their responses.
- Reasoning and Logic Exploits: The newest AIs have advanced reasoning, but attackers can hijack this logic and trick models into bypassing safety controls.
- AI-Powered Phishing and Deepfakes: Threat actors now use generative AI to create convincing messages and media at scale, making scams harder to spot.
- API and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Weak API security can let intruders access and manipulate AI systems—especially risky with integrated third-party services.
- Malicious AI Tools: Cybercriminals use or sell AI-driven attack platforms, automating ransomware, fraud, and more.
- Adversarial Inputs: Targeted inputs can force AIs to make mistakes or reveal sensitive information.
How to Protect AI at Every Level
- Use strong authentication and access controls for all AI models and data.
- Monitor data quality to spot and block poisoning attacks.
- Secure API endpoints with rate limits and real-time monitoring.
- Train employees to recognize new-generation phishing attacks and scams.
- Adopt security tools that use AI to hunt for emerging threats.
- Follow recognized governance and compliance frameworks tailored for AI.
- Regularly test models by simulating adversarial attacks.
