AI Finds Vulnerabilities: Oracle Has Fixed Nearly 3,000 Issues

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that artificial intelligence does not create new security vulnerabilities. Instead, it exposes problems that have accumulated over the years more quickly. Oracle executive Clay Magouyrk also said that the technology is helping find security problems that have emerged over the past 50 years. However, attackers can find and exploit those vulnerabilities just as quickly.    This shift is forcing companies to roll out security updates more quickly. Oracle’s latest quarterly update fixed approximately 3,000 security issues. Most of the issues were detected with the help of artificial intelligence. Together with OpenAI, the company is developing tools that help enterprises find vulnerabilities and explore solutions.    The main product of the partnership is a new security feature called Oracle AI Security Mesh. The system shows the steps needed to reproduce a discovered vulnerability and the test results. This allows companies to distinguish false alarms, prioritize serious risks, and investigate the likelihood of an attack in advance. The goal is to respond to new vulnerabilities as quickly as possible.    The main risk is that artificial intelligence gives an advantage to both defenders and attackers. According to Altman, addressing vulnerabilities individually across the entire supply chain could be extremely difficult. Therefore, new methods will be needed to resolve security problems. Although artificial intelligence helps find complex threats, it also makes it faster to exploit those vulnerabilities for attacks.    Altman believes that companies should not limit themselves to fixing individual flaws in the future. Security work could be built around continuous monitoring of systems. This shift could also affect how work is divided among teams. Until now, one of the main challenges has been rolling out fixes quickly enough. Oracle AI Security Mesh should help enterprises respond more flexibly to new threats.
