Deep dives
The Dual Threat of AI in Cybersecurity
The integration of AI in code generation has led to an increase in vulnerabilities due to the widespread availability of insecure public source code. As more code is generated, the number of potential security issues rises, creating a greater threat landscape that attackers can exploit. Simultaneously, malicious actors are also leveraging AI to enhance the efficacy of their attacks, resulting in an arms race between cyber defenders and attackers. This dynamic necessitates the use of automated tools, like those developed by Expo, to proactively address these emerging security challenges.
