What I learned this week

TL;DR

• I’m starting a mini-series of 3 articles related to vulnerability management. The first one (this very newsletter), will focus on what is vulnerability management and what are the current challenges and priorities. The second article will cover how AI can help vulnerability management and show case a small tool I have developed to provide good context. The third and last part will be looking at the vendor side and what’s happening on the market. Let’s start with the beginning! » READ MORE

• OWASP has published several AI security guidance documents: DeepFakes, Building an Ai Security Center of Excellence, and a Gen AI Security Solutions Guide. If you jump into the “Worth a full read” section you can get the details and a high-level summary.

• The Google Cloud security team had a busy week with the release of a couple of really good report. The first one reaches the obvious conclusion that companies don’t need more security product but they need more secure products. Very much align to last week newsletter analysis. The second one is their Cyber Security Forecast for 2025. Highly recommend to read this one.

• OpenAI has released a new version of their ChatGPT Mac application, that enable a better integration with the developer tools. No need to copy-paste code, you can give ChatGPT access to Xcode and from there it can read the code and help the developer. Not a perfect integration (yet) as in the video you still need to do some copy paste but its getting better for sure.

• Lots of discussion about when AGI will come, you can find some recent Youtube/Podcast interview of both Sam Altman and Dario Amodei (Anthropic CEO) where they talk about AGI and the next steps for AI at large. Time will tell but one thing is for sure…the AI innovation and adoption is not stoping anytime soon…you better be ready!
