Deep dives

The Impact of GenAI on Security

Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the landscape of cybersecurity and application security. It introduces unique challenges, particularly because it operates as an API that accepts natural language inputs as code. This fusion of data and code blurs traditional security boundaries, creating potential vulnerabilities. The OWASP Top 10 for GenAI highlights the pressing need to address these risks as GenAI systems evolve and integrate into broader applications.
