Harnessing AI to Simplify Cloud Configuration Drift Detection

Cloud environments are dynamic by nature; they frequently change and update configurations. Unless these changes are carefully tracked, they could lead to configuration drift, a situation in which the runtime state of a resource deviates from its intended baseline configuration. Configuration drift can have severe consequences, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities, degrading system performance, and violating compliance requirements.  Manual configuration drift management in large, multi-cloud environments is inefficient and prone to human error. AI helps to…

5 Emerging AI Threats Australian Cyber Pros Must Watch in 2025

Australian cybersecurity professionals can expect threat actors to exploit artificial intelligence to diversify tactics and scale the volume of cyberattacks targeting organisations in 2025, according to security tech firm Infoblox. Last year, cyber teams in APAC witnessed the first signs of AI being used to execute crimes like financial fraud, while some have linked AI to a DDoS attack in the financial services sector in Australia. This year, Australia’s cyber defenders can expect AI to…

5 Reasons Why Developers Should Attend Security Conferences

On the first night of BlackHat USA, I made conversation with a few friendly penetration testers who were perplexed when I told them I was a developer. Why would I be at a cybersecurity conference? …What was I hoping to get out of it? My general (and perhaps vague) response to them, and to others I’d meet who would be perplexed by my attendance at both BlackHat and DefCon, was that I wanted a better…

The Critical Intersection of AI and Security: A Partnership Imperative

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force—driving innovation and efficiency across countless industries. However, as we integrate AI deeper into our way of living, we must pause and consider a crucial question: What is AI without security? Think of AI without security as a vault filled with treasures but left unlocked. It’s a high-speed train barreling down the tracks with no conductor aboard. In essence, it’s a…

Cisco Hypershield: A New Era of Distributed, AI-Native Security

AI is transformative, driving huge productivity gains. The engine of AI — the data center — will grow substantially, maybe an order of magnitude or more over the coming years. The industry went through a change like this in the past, when the likes of Amazon, Google and Microsoft got so big they couldn’t use enterprise data center systems. Instead, they wrote infrastructure software and embraced a scale out model where that software could run…

Cisco Hypershield: Reimagining Security

It is no secret that cybersecurity defenders struggle to keep up with the volume and craftiness of current-day cyber-attacks. A significant reason for the struggle is that security infrastructure has yet to evolve to effectively and efficiently stymie modern attacks. The security infrastructure is either too unwieldy and slow or too destructive. When the security infrastructure is slow and unwieldy, the attackers have likely succeeded by the time the defenders react. When security actions are…
