Gen AI in cybersecurity: Will help defenders with better counter measures; India ahead of other nations
Generative artificial intelligence, while being increasingly exploited by cyber criminals to fuel their attacks, is also empowering defenders with faster and smarter responses to online threats, according to Heather Adkins, global VP of engineering at Google Security. Adkins, who has spent more than 20 years at Google, said, generative AI will give "defenders" a "leg up" over the threat actors.' 'We will be able to leverage Gen AI to protect infrastructure in new ways that we've never thought of before and also at a speed that we've never been able to achieve before,' she said, quoted by TNN. She said that the same technology being used to plan sophisticated cyberattacks can also help strengthen defence systems. Talking about cyberattacks in India, the Google security VP pointed out that the government is "very engaged" and has been ahead of many other nations in tackling these threats. 'It's a hot topic. They've done a very good job in getting involved quickly and partnering with companies. The workforce here and education levels in India are pretty high. There are parts of the world I go where they're just now starting to think about cyber security and they're much further behind India.' Google Security now plans to set up an engineering centre in India. She further warned of the growing threat posed by state-sponsored cyberattacks, particularly as geopolitical tensions continue to rise, putting the world at risk. 'It's a question of who has more time. And, if you think about a well-funded nation state, may be they'll create a project, put 100 people on it, and they just work on that project throughout the day... So, they often know more because they have more time, not because they're smarter. I would say they're more likely to be successful.' Adkins highlighted the need to educate users alongside building tools, stating that digital instincts must be developed to spot malicious content online. 'Unlike the physical world where you have instincts and senses to identify something dangerous, the online world does not have a parallel. We have to build that,' she said. Despite the rising tempo and complexity of attacks, Adkins believed that the cybersecurity landscape is in a better place today. 'There's no doubt that we're seeing an increase in the tempo and sophistication of attacks. But today, more than ever before, enterprises have better tools.' Cybersecurity looked 'primitive' 23 years ago, while now, most solutions have security built into them, she added.

Zen Technologies acquires 55% stake in Raghu Vamsi Group's defence drone company TISA Aerospace
HYDERABAD: With the spotlight on the defence drone sector post Operation Sindoor, Hyderabad-based anti-drone tech player Zen Technologies Limited has acquired majority stake in emerging defence technology player TISA Aerospace Pvt Ltd, which specialises in indigenously developing loitering munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Zen Technologies will be acquiring around 54.7% stake in Hyderabad-based TISA Aerospace for a consideration of nearly Rs 6.6 crore. This it will be doing through the acquisition of 2,06,518 equity shares from existing shareholders in the company. Zen Technologies will also be acquiring another 4 lakh 6% compulsory convertible debentures of TISA, which was set up by Raghu Vamsi Group's promoter Vamsi Vikas Ganesula and Kiran Kumar Vagga in December 2020. News of the acquisition powered Zen Technologies shares to the 5% upper circuit at Rs 1995.30 a share on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Monday as compared to the previous sessions close of Rs 1900.30 a share. The move marks Zen Technologies' foray into the rapidly growing domain of loitering munitions, UAVs and precision guided weaponry. Zen Technologies chairman and managing director Ashok Atluri said the move would beef up the company's presence in the rapidly evolving defence drone sector. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'TISA's expertise in loitering munitions provides us with immediate access to advanced technologies and platforms that align with the emerging operational requirements of the armed forces,' he said. Pointing out that TISA has achieved significant R&D milestones, which includes the successful execution of a project for DRDO with critical design assistance from IIT Madras, Atluri said: 'By integrating these capabilities with our existing strengths in anti-drone systems and propulsion technologies, we are building a broader and more future-ready defence portfolio.' He said the move is in line with India's 'urgent need' for self-reliance in defence capabilities, particularly in drones and loitering munitions. 'We see strong potential in product integration across platforms, enabling us to scale faster and compete more effectively in both domestic and global markets,' Atluri added. TISA Aerospace is focused on the design, development, and manufacture of advanced loitering munitions and UAVs tailored for defence applications. The company has successfully delivered loitering munitions meeting DRDO specifications and is developing new variants for the Indian Army.

Why the Godfather of AI left Google: "If you work for a big company, you don't ..."
Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton Geoffrey Hinton , who's known as the " Godfather of AI ," has revealed the internal pressures that influenced his decision to leave Google after more than a decade, citing self-censorship concerns that prevented him from speaking freely about artificial intelligence dangers . Speaking on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast that aired June 16, Hinton explained how corporate loyalty created an unspoken barrier to discussing AI risks. "If you work for a big company, you don't feel right saying things that will damage the big company," he said, describing the psychological constraint he faced while employed at Google. Google never silenced him, but self-censorship kicked in The neural network pioneer, who quit Google in 2023, emphasized that the tech giant never directly pressured him to remain silent about AI safety issues. "Google encouraged me to stay and work on AI safety, and said I could do whatever I liked on AI safety," Hinton noted. However, he admitted that employees naturally "censor yourself" when working for major corporations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Hinton's departure came as he grew increasingly concerned about AI's potential dangers, including the spread of misinformation, job displacement, and what he termed "existential risk" from digital intelligence surpassing human capabilities. His concerns intensified after Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into its search engine, prompting Google to accelerate its own AI chatbot development. "We would never accept this mindset in any other field" The 75-year-old researcher's warnings align with broader industry concerns about AI safety protocols. Hinton highlighted the particular challenge of AI-generated content, noting that people "will not be able to discern what is true any more" as realistic fake photos, videos, and text flood the internet. His departure underscores a growing tension in the tech industry between rapid AI advancement and safety considerations. While praising Google's overall responsible behavior, Hinton's exit reflects the complex dynamics facing AI researchers who must balance corporate interests with public safety concerns in an increasingly competitive landscape.
