]]>The post CSA Addresses Using AI for Offensive Security in New Report first appeared on AI-Tech Park.
]]>Black Hat Conference (Las Vegas) –Today, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, released Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Offensive Security. The report, drafted by the AI Technology and Risk Working Group, explores the transformative potential of Large Language Model (LLM)-powered AI by examining its integration into offensive security. Specifically, the report addresses current challenges and showcases AI’s capabilities across five security phases: reconnaissance, scanning, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and reporting.
“AI is here to transform offensive security, however, it’s not a silver bullet. Because AI solutions are limited by the scope of their training data and algorithms, it’s essential to understand the current state-of-the-art of AI and leverage it as an augmentation tool for human security professionals,” said Adam Lundqvist, a lead author of the paper. “By adopting AI, training teams on potential and risks, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, organizations can significantly enhance their defensive capabilities and secure a competitive edge in cybersecurity.”
Among the report’s key findings:
As outlined in the report, the utilization of AI in offensive security presents unique opportunities but also limitations. Managing large datasets and ensuring accurate vulnerability detection are significant challenges that can be addressed through technological advancements and best practices. However, limitations such as token window constraints in AI models require careful planning and mitigation today. To overcome these challenges, the report’s authors recommend that organizations incorporate AI to automate tasks and augment human capabilities; maintain human oversight to validate AI outputs, improve quality, and ensure technical advantage; and implement robust governance, risk, and compliance frameworks and controls to ensure safe, secure, and ethical AI use.
“While AI offers significant potential to enhance offensive security capabilities, it’s crucial to acknowledge the difficulties that can arise from its use. Putting appropriate mitigation strategies, such as those covered in this report, in place can help ensure AI’s safe and effective integration into security frameworks,” said Kirti Chopra, a lead author of the paper.

]]>The post Next-Gen Ampere® Instances Available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure first appeared on AI-Tech Park.
]]>Ampere and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) announced today the launch of second-generation Ampere-based compute instances, OCI Ampere A2 Compute, based on the AmpereOne® family of processors. The new offering builds upon the success of OCI Ampere A1 Compute instances, which have been adopted by OCI customers and deployed across over 100 OCI services, including Oracle Database services like HeatWave, MySQL, as well as Oracle Cloud Applications.
OCI Ampere A2 Compute instances provide higher core count virtual machines and high-density containers within a single server, delivering more performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency for cloud native workloads. In addition, the OCI Ampere A2 Compute series further extends OCI’s lead in both Arm-based cloud computing and price-for-performance.
“OCI and Ampere began our collaboration with the ground-breaking A1 shapes. We’ve demonstrated the versatility of these shapes on a wide range of workloads from general purpose applications and OCI services to the most recently announced and highly demanding use case: Llama3 generative AI services,” said Jeff Wittich, Chief Product Officer at Ampere. “Building on this momentum, the new OCI Ampere A2 Compute shapes using our AmpereOne® processors are set to create a new baseline in price-performance for the cloud industry across an ever-expanding variety of cloud native workloads and instance types.”
Key features, pricing and performance metrics for the OCI Ampere A2 Compute instances include:
Like OCI Ampere A1 instances, OCI Ampere A2 Compute instances show strong performance for multiple AI functions, including generative AI. This performance is made possible through joint development efforts between Ampere Computing and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that have recently delivered up to 152% performance gain over the previous upstream llama.cpp open-source implementation.
Beyond AI, OCI Ampere A1 and A2 Compute instances are also well-suited for other cloud native workloads, such as analytics and databases, media services, video streaming, and web services. They offer the linear scalability, low latency, density and predictable performance these workloads need, bringing more performance and higher cost savings. For example, when deploying a typical web service on OCI Ampere A2 Compute, using very popular applications such as MySQL, NGINX, Cassandra, and Redis, the savings can be very compelling. An enterprise spending $50M annually across a weighted blend of these popular web service components could save up to $21.4M in cloud infrastructure costs compared with OCI E5 x86 based shapes. The result can save up to 43% less in infrastructure costs, 30% reduction in power consumption, and 33% less carbon emissions.
OCI Ampere A1 and A2 Compute shapes represent a significant advancement in cloud computing by lowering general purpose cloud computing costs, addressing AI computing efficiency, providing a more predictable and linearly scalable compute resource, and helping companies achieve ESG goals faster.
