NEW AI-BASED TOOLS: THE NEXT FRONTIER OR A SECURITY NIGHTMARE?
Have you heard the news? OpenAI just unveiled custom GPTs, a groundbreaking no-code tool that allows anyone to create their own GPT models based on their own data and using their own plugins. Yup, that’s right – what used to be a job for the experts can now be done by almost anyone, and that’s not all. These GPTs can also act on the user’s behalf!
But wait, there’s more. If you thought this was just some gimmicky tool for the tech world, think again because Microsoft also joined the party with their own no-code GPT creator, Copilot Studio. This means that AI is not just knocking on the consumer’s door, it’s putting its feet through the enterprise room.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, the truth is these AI-generated operation logs are indistinguishable from those triggered by actual human users. Imagine the potential security nightmare this could become for highly regulated enterprises.
But how did we get here so quickly? Well, major vendors have been building low-code/no-code platforms for a while now, and chatbots have become the killer app for these platforms. It’s no surprise then that there has been a proliferation of no-code apps in recent years – in fact, business users have created millions of new business applications using these platforms.
So, where do we even begin? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. But the good news is that some organizations have already integrated citizen development (business users building apps) into their application security program, and some insights have been publicly shared.
But here’s the question – should security teams get onboard now and bring these new developers under the security umbrella, or just sit and hope for the best? What do you think? Is this new AI technology the next frontier or a security nightmare? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
