1/3 Lately, I have been talking to so many CISOs and their security teams. There is a clear trend. While Data security is generally well understood, AI security is not. Security teams are catching up on MLops, model training, training datasets, model serving, ...

2/3 @databricks has gone through this already and we have a very good understanding of the field. Happy to help!
Are you curious about Data AI security? What about model generation and serving security best practices? What about security use cases for Generation AI and LLMs?

I can’t tell which I’m more excited about, Dolly 2.0 or the fact that we’re giving away the 15k instruction tuning records, created by thousands of Databricks employees in the last two weeks, we used to train it.
Free and licensed for commercial use! 🐑

I hacked into a @Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of @Office365 accounts.
How did I do it? Well, it all started with a simple click in @Azure… 👀
This is the story of #BingBang 🧵⬇️

There is a very big difference between B2C and B2B in regards to customer reaction and company viability post breach
28 Feb 2023
There is a long history of people not caring about breaches and the stock price recovers (and even outperforms) within X months. Customers just don’t care about security usually. I wonder if things will be different for Lastpass this time…

This is a great thread. I cannot agree more with the "leave your egos apart, focus on survival not on valuation"

PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1

It has been a pretty amazing week. Nothing big just a small set of tiny nuggets here and there. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Looking fwd to the next couple of weeks and Databrick's security leadership offsite and planning how to conquer the world.

Listen to Nico, he is right here. Vuln management should be outcome driven... reduce risk by mitigating discovered vulns within the minimum time possible. Not having accurate data, wastes time in the short term and impacts the long run by diminishing trust in the effort.
4 Oct 2022
This is -big-.
Building a healthy vuln management program is about building trust relationship with engineer. Every false positive, every non actionable alert diminish that trust.
Which is why accurate dependency alerts are critical!
Great work semgrep team!
