In the world of cyber criminality and hacking, the creation of artificial intelligence was a blessing because it gave Ne’er-Do-Wrons even more ways to steal your account, obtain significant information or provide you with money. However, it is not lost, because it turns out that there is one artificial intelligence that is so good to find security problems and gaps in the code that he is currently a leader in US Hackerone Leaderboard.
The company that developed the AI model is called XBOW (no, not Xbox) and uses the same name of the system itself. XBOW is also relatively up-to-date as Bloomberg report He states that the start-up has been around for a year. Until now, he has collected $ 75 million in financing, but I suspect that considering how security problems were found, that there will be more investors interested in engaging.
What XBOW does is not exactly up-to-date, because ethical hackers have been using all kinds of automated tools for testing and checking code, websites and the like for years. Of course, artificial intelligence was particularly fascinating, because if there is one thing in which there are good models of artificial intelligence, it goes through huge amounts of data to find common patterns.
XBOW AI bears something named automated penetration tests that simulates cyber attacks or any systematic abuse of gaps in security in the code. In the past, it was performed a bit by hand, which makes the whole process very time -consuming and therefore costly. In the case of the latter, sometimes it is so costly that some companies launch the code without ensuring that it is protected.
Given that XBOW is currently at the top of the American Hackerone leaders table, it clearly does a good job. To say, it is not perfect, and some of them depend on the hallucination of AI, which the model spits out a completely improper answer, because there is data on which it has never been trained or not sufficient. XBOW, a company that is around this problem, manually checking every problem reported.
There is also the fact that artificial intelligence has no idea of context. For example, as Bloomberg said, co -founder of XBOW, Oege de Moor: “You should clearly say when looking at the medical site that prescriptions should be private.”
Considering how It is significant that the code is protected memory Nowadays, in which programs do not cause unexpected mistakes in memory, which makes them susceptible to attack, I dare say that we will see many more start-ups and projects such as XBOW in the next few years. And if everyone is powered by machine, but verified by man, for the highest speed and accuracy, then certainly one substantial thing that we can say that AI did for us all.
