A Security Raises $37M to Combat Weaponized AI Threats

A security startup has raised $37 million to combat weaponized AI. The funding will help New York-based A Security defend against attacks conducted by machines. Here's the thing: Future attackers could automate discovery, exploitation, and attack-path analysis at a scale humans can't match. A Security's co-founder and CEO, Yossi Torati, says they will focus on autonomous remediation for web, AI applications, APIs, and networks. What's interesting is that AI interfaces rely heavily on natural language. This means attackers might manipulate an AI system's reasoning process through prompts, similar to social engineering for humans. The bottom line: As businesses rapidly deploy AI, security teams need new ways to protect against these evolving, machine-driven threats.
