IT Home reported on November 6 that as AI accelerates the discovery of software security vulnerabilities, we may continue to see serious cybersecurity threats emerge in the future. Some analysts believe that a large number of vulnerabilities never discovered by humans are coming to light at an accelerating pace, putting greater pressure on companies to protect themselves.
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said during the third-quarter earnings call yesterday: “We expect serious cybersecurity threats to continue emerging over the next 2 years.”
The CEO believes AI is uncovering security vulnerabilities hidden in traditional software, causing new security threats to emerge one after another. For example, 6 serious vulnerabilities have been publicly disclosed recently. Cloudflare has established partnerships with several major AI research organizations and cybersecurity companies to obtain information about vulnerabilities before they are made public and take steps to protect its customers accordingly.
At the same time, demand for cybersecurity services among businesses continues to grow. Prince said chief information security officers (CISOs, IT Home notes) are concerned about the successive vulnerability disclosures, and many companies, including financial institutions, are signing large security service contracts to address the associated risks. He emphasized that more and more companies will choose integrated platforms rather than purchase various security solutions separately.
