dangerous since hackers can penetrate and leave a system at will . AI can unintentionally facilitate such attacks , and , in such a case , the technology will only lead to the creation of faster and more intelligent attacks .
Q . HOW CAN WE PREVENT AI HACKING ?
» With much of the risk in AI and ML vulnerabilities stemming from passwords , organisations need to look to multi-factor authentication that does not use passwords or shared secrets as a minimum defence against hackers . Whether they come in the form of data poisoning attacks on automated authentication databases or a more traditional cyberattack exposing an AI system and altering its source code , the root is typically weak protection from passwordbased solutions and the inherent risk of human error . By implementing passwordless technology , many of these risks can be avoided and the potential for authentication to be the source vector of an attack is virtually eliminated .

Q . HOW DOES HYPR LOOK TO SUPPORT CUSTOMERS WITH AI HACKING ?
» Having proper authentication controls in place can block practically any sort of malicious actor attempting to gain access to an AI program or a database feeding into an AI or ML system . While HYPR does not have any offerings that specifically combat AI / ML cyberattacks , HYPR ’ s passwordless technology makes it much harder to use AI / ML poisoning to get in and launch an attack . Essentially , any sort of credential stuffing , phishing , social engineering etc ., can no longer be used to get a password and gain access . This is a huge step in eliminating the types of attacks we as a collective security community have been experiencing .
Q . WHAT ' S NEXT FOR HYPR ?
» HYPR ’ s expansion is very exciting , as we ’ re looking to strengthen our presence beyond traditional sectors by working with customers in agriculture , auto and manufacturing , critical infrastructure , financial services , insurance , hospitality and tourism , and nonprofit organisations . We ’ re also expanding our reach globally , having recently secured enterprise customers across Europe , including financial institutions in Poland and Switzerland , as well as an exciting partnership with Aon to roll out passwordless MFA for their 50,000 + employees . Just this month , HYPR ’ s True Passwordless technology was added to CISA ’ s list of Free Cyber Security Services and Tools as a way to help mitigate the threat of advancing Russian cyber threats ( more here ).
