Bottom line: The NCSC is urging organizations to prioritize AI security evaluation and testing to prevent future incidents.
What's happening: Recent incidents involving AI models from major vendors like Google and Microsoft have exposed vulnerabilities in AI systems, including a high-risk flaw (CVE-2023-1234) in Google's AlphaGo model, which could have been exploited by nation-state actors.
What to do: Security leaders should conduct regular AI security evaluations and testing, using tools like the Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTMM), to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
