AI & Security

Articles in the AI & Security category. Practical tips, news and guides for working with AI.

• First Anthropic, now OpenAI. Washington is blocking the next most powerful AI — The most powerful language models are starting to behave like sensitive technology under state supervision. According to the Financial Times, OpenAI is to release its new GPT 5.6 model in stages, with the US government approving its first partners. Just days earlier, export controls hit Anthropic and its Fable and Mythos models. For companies, the signal is clear about how fragile access to the best AI has become.
• Why Local AI Alone Doesn't Guarantee Your Security — Many companies think that running AI locally is enough to take care of data security. But the reality is more complex. Local operation does mean that data doesn't leave your network, but without proper design, clear rules, and ongoing oversight, even a local model can become a security risk. Let's look at what local AI can actually do, where its limits are, and how to approach it with a clear head.
• Cybersecurity Gets a Boost with the Aisle AI Platform from Former Avast CEO — After a year of quiet development, it's finally becoming clear what Ondřej Vlček has been working on since leaving Avast. The company Aisle has the ambition to solve a problem plaguing all large companies — mountains of unresolved security vulnerabilities in their systems. How does this team of nearly 40 plan to achieve this? With the help of artificial intelligence capable of finding and fixing bugs faster than anyone before.
• Germany and France Are Moving Away from American Clouds Over Data Security Concerns — When support for Microsoft Exchange Server ended in August, most companies panicked and quickly migrated to Microsoft 365. Yet a European alternative exists that gives you full control over your data while offering everything you know from Office — and most importantly, the US government cannot read your data.
• Agentic AI Brings Autonomous Intelligence to Cybersecurity, Capable of Instantly Responding to Threats — While classical artificial intelligence only responds to instructions, Agentic AI thinks for itself. It can make decisions, learn, and act autonomously — and it is precisely this capability that makes it a revolution in cybersecurity. Attackers are already using it to automate phishing and bypass multi-factor authentication. Defenders, however, can deploy it as a tireless analyst that detects threats in seconds. The question is: who will be faster?
• Agentic AI in Cybersecurity Can Be Both an Ally and an Adversary — Autonomous artificial intelligence can work independently, learn, and make decisions without human intervention. But while organizations can leverage Agentic AI for faster threat detection, attackers gain a tool for massive automated attacks. How can you prepare for this technology and avoid being caught off guard?
• OpenAI Launched a Browser with Security Problems It Warns About Itself — OpenAI introduced its new ChatGPT Atlas browser to the public a week ago. Within 72 hours, seven security companies discovered critical vulnerabilities. Atlas fails 94.2% of tests against phishing attacks, while Chrome stops 47%. OpenAI itself warns people not to use Atlas with sensitive data.
• Agentic AI Poses a New Threat to Companies and Demands a Human-Centric Response — Agentic AI is no longer a theoretical concept but a real technology that significantly boosts efficiency not only in business but also in hacker attacks. Threat actors can leverage it for malicious activities such as mass phishing campaigns or automated password attacks. Companies must therefore rethink their cybersecurity and begin focusing more on protecting people and their behavior in real time.
• AI in Cybersecurity Brings Savings — But Also New Risks — Artificial intelligence significantly shortens the time needed to detect and contain data breaches, thereby reducing their financial impact, according to new data from IBM. Yet most companies still do not use AI in their security operations and continue to face constant threats — from phishing to new forms of AI-assisted attacks. What opportunities and risks does AI bring to cybersecurity?
• How to Overcome Security Overload and Leverage Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity — Cybersecurity today is hit by a flood of enormous amounts of data and threats that security teams often cannot process effectively. This article examines the challenges faced by security professionals and introduces artificial intelligence as a key tool that helps manage this burden and increases the effectiveness of defense against cyberattacks.
• Artificial Intelligence as the Key to a Balanced Security and Work Environment in Companies — IT operations teams have long struggled with a dilemma: securing data without creating friction for employees. A new era of intelligent autonomous workplaces brings a solution where artificial intelligence connects security, IT operations, and user experience into one functional whole. What does this look like in practice, and what benefits does a company gain?
• How Shadow AI Is Driving Up the Costs of Data Breaches and What Companies Can Do About It — Shadow AI – the unauthorized or invisible use of artificial intelligence within organizations – is becoming a significant security risk with costs $670,000 higher per security incident. Despite the rapid rise of AI, the vast majority of companies have not implemented even basic controls or audit processes, which gives hackers an opportunity for deeply damaging scenarios. This article examines the latest data from an IBM study that offers clear recommendations on how to address the situation.
• AI in cybersecurity: The gap between management enthusiasm and frontline skepticism — AI in cybersecurity is a necessity today, but the enthusiasm of company leadership often runs up against the hesitation of ordinary analysts. What are the real benefits, where is the line of trust, and how can the tension be overcome?
• How to Defend Against AI Fraud in Healthcare and Protect Your Finances — The year 2025 is the year when scams using artificial intelligence are becoming an everyday reality — and healthcare is one of the most vulnerable areas. How do you recognize fake invoices, avoid being caught out, and protect your finances? Read four practical tips that will help you stay safe.
• Daisy — The AI Granny Scammers Would Love to Slap — "AI granny" Daisy — a thoroughly prepared voicebot — has endless time at her disposal and keeps scammers talking so assertively for so long that she ruins their day. At least, that's what the British O2 campaign claims.
