Security teams have been left to make assumptions about how generative AI will affect the threat landscape since ChatGPT-4 was released this week. Although it is now widely known that GPT-3 may be used to create malware and ransomware code, GPT-4 is 571X more potent, which could result in a large increase in threats.
While the long-term effects of generative AI are yet unknown, a new study presented today by cybersecurity company Sophos reveals that GPT-3 can be used by security teams to thwart cyberattacks.
Younghoo Lee, the principal data scientist for Sophos AI, and other Sophos researchers used the large language models from GPT-3 to create a natural language query interface for looking for malicious activity across the telemetry of the XDR security tool, detecting spam emails, and examining potential covert “living off the land” binary command lines.
In general, Sophos’ research suggests that generative AI has a crucial role to play in processing security events in the SOC, allowing defenders to better manage their workloads and identify threats more quickly.
