#488: AI attacking AI is here (The New AI Red Team)
Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video!
Hackers are hacking AI models. Prompt injection attacks are happening all the time. AI's are hallucinating and giving incorrect information. The AI models you download could be made by hackers. Your users are posting confidential information like passwords and API keys into online AI models. Developers are leveraging AI systems in their applications without checking that the AI models are not open to prompt injections.

We need a way to protect AI systems. And Cisco have a solution.

#486: 2025 Ethical Hacker Roadmap with lots of free training (NOT Sponsored)
This video is NOT sponsored by TCM Security and I DO NOT get any affiliate commission if you use the links in the video description to buy courses etc from TCM.
Also, in the interest of transparency: Heath mentions in the video and in the linked article that references to TCM Security are marked as self-promotion.
I love it that Heath is providing so much free training and low cost training to the community. Heath is very well known and respected in the cybersecurity community. I love that he is making so much content available for free via his YouTube channel and on his website. Watch his content on YouTube, take the free courses and also do you own research and make your own decisions about the training and references he mentions. There are so many options out there for free training - see my other videos for options like free training from Cisco and other providers.
