The seventh edition of Bugcrowd's Inside the Mind of a Hacker report explores trends in ethical hacking, motivations behind hackers, and how organizations are leveraging the hacking community to elevate their security posture. The report delves into the impact of generative AI on cybersecurity, including its potential risks such as data poisoning, prompt injection, and model inference, as well as opportunities for self-healing systems that can operate at machine speed. Netskope's Chief Information Officer and Chief Security Officer David Fairman emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt modern data protection controls when allowing employees to use generative AI applications, and highlights the potential benefits of human-machine collaboration in cybersecurity, where security professionals will play a crucial role in training models, monitoring their behavior, and generating new models. The report provides insights into how hackers are using AI technologies to increase the value of their work, and offers guidance on mitigating these risks and leveraging generative AI for effective cybersecurity.
