What Security Teams Need to Know About ChatGPT

Written by Liferaft | November 23, 2023

Imagine a world where talking to computers feels as natural as chatting with a friend. That's the power of ChatGPT, a groundbreaking technology developed by a company called OpenAI.

This technology has already revolutionized the way we work with computers. Instead of giving them commands, we can have real conversations with them. It's like having an incredibly smart virtual assistant at our fingertips. ChatGPT understands what we say and responds in a way that makes sense. It helps us find information quickly, provides useful suggestions, and even assists with tasks like writing. With ChatGPT, the possibilities seem endless, and it has truly changed the way we interact with technology.

But corporate security teams are understandably worried. For starters, ChatGPT can be used by bad actors to create and spread false information like never before. This means that people are more likely to come across misleading or manipulated content, making it hard to separate fact from fiction online. Additionally, ChatGPT also represents the technological equivalent to the machine gun for cybercriminals, allowing them to create high quality phishing emails and develop new attack vectors like never before.

So how do security teams address these challenges?

In this episode, our guest Daniel Ben-Chitrit, Director of Product Management at Authentic8, breaks down what ChatGPT will mean for corporate security teams and the OSINT community. We’ll also discuss how OSINT analysts can leverage this technology effectively while maintaining security and data privacy.
