Nearly two years have passed since #ChatGPT first introduced #GenAI to the public discourse. Enterprises and SMBs alike have since pondered, tested, restricted, and invested in numerous generative AI and large language model (LLM) use cases. ❓Amid the whirlwind of change, what’s the true state of generative AI and LLMs in businesses today? 🎯 There’s nobody better suited to answer this question than Rob Ragan, Principal Technology Specialist at Bishop Fox, the leaders in offensive security and pen testing. 🧠 Forgepoint Venture Partner Kathryn Shih recently spoke with Rob in a wide-ranging conversation about AI and LLM pen testing, how companies are leveraging GenAI and LLM models (successfully and unsuccessfully), common security vulnerabilities and integration issues, software development expertise and AI, and much more. 💡 Read the interview here: https://lnkd.in/gTn9sSRn #SecuringAI #BishopFox #forgepointfamily

Such epic vision, ability, perseverance, and teamwork. We couldn't be more proud to have said "yes, yes, and yes". On with the hunt, Huntress! 🛡🏹🚀 #forgepointfamily
CEO Magazine recently hit me up to cover the grind and atypical approaches required to build a $1B #startup at Huntress 🦄 For anyone out there who’s been forced to get scrappy or juggle side-hustles, I imagine some of this will deeply resonate. We broke the interview into sections and topics I felt were most defining: - Pushing the Envelope ;) - Bottom’s Up Leadership - Listening to Partners - Fully Remote Culture - The Ripple Effect Massive thanks to Dug Song, Jon Oberheide, Martin Roesch, Michael Viscuso, and Ronald Gula for letting me stand on your shoulders 🙏 Hope this helps others that follow to stand on mine 💪 https://lnkd.in/ewbazsyw

If you think risk isn't here through AI you are way behind the power curve. We launched KYE a few months ago from a specific project we worked on for a three letter agency. Their thesis was that during the pandemic North Korea had used AI to place Synthetic Credentials on the Internet and created thousands of Synthetic Identities and then had North Korean agents interview for US based and Northern Europe IT jobs. Using our Data Lake which includes the largest collection of both Breeched Identity Credentials + P&I data, we went through a 5 step process and identified numerous individuals who in fact were North Korean Agents. Today, whomever you are getting your standard background checks are probably going to fall into this trap of checking data that is actually Synthetic. If you are NOT using a tool such as our's to determine if an individual is real or not for a remote employee/contractor, sooner or later this is going to happen to you. If you are a Payroll company, EOR company, you will fall into a money laundering trap, if you are an Insurance Underwriter and you provide a policy without actually meeting an individual, you could fall into this trap. Mortgage lender or any other type of financial business where you don't physically meet the other individual, you are going to become a victim of Synthetic Identity. Give us a call, we will be happy to walk you through how we can protect you from this new threat vector. #SyntheticIdentity; #fraud; #identity; #EOR #payroll #backgroundcheck #underwriting #KYC #KYE #AML
Eye-opening revelation from KnowBe4 regarding a North Korean hacker posing as a software engineer new-hire. Their swift action underscores the importance of vigilance, and our hats go off to KnowBe4 for helping raise awareness on this emerging threat. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dRk9Ejjf This incident, coupled with the FBI Cyber Division's PSA warning this past spring and the Reuters expose supported by Constella Intelligence uncovering fake IT workers from North Korea, underscores the imperative for proactive cybersecurity measures. ▪ FBI PSA: https://lnkd.in/emCkkPd6 ▪ Reuters article: https://lnkd.in/duxqRAtD In response to this complex and emerging threat, Constella launched Advanced Know Your Employee and Business (KYE/KYB) solutions, which harness AI and vast data insights to detect and mitigate risks posed by fraudulent personas, uncovering synthetic and fake identities as well as malicious and criminal activity at scale.
