In 2024, researchers from the University of Illinois found that GPT-4, when provided with a common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) description, could autonomously exploit 87% of a curated 15-vulne [...]
A 27-year-old bug sat inside OpenBSD’s TCP stack while auditors reviewed the code, fuzzers ran against it, and the operating system earned its reputation as one of the most security-hardened platfor [...]
CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz highlighted in his RSA Conference 2026 keynote that the fastest recorded adversary breakout time has dropped to 27 seconds. The average is now 29 minutes, down from 48 min [...]
Adversaries from cybercrime gangs to nation-state cyberattack squads are fine-tuning weaponized AI with the goal of defeating new patches in 3 days or less. The quicker the attack, the more time to ex [...]
For the first time on a major AI platform release, security shipped at launch — not bolted on 18 months later. At Nvidia GTC this week, five security vendors announced protection for Nvidia's a [...]
