AI and Cybersecurity with Michael “Siko” Sikorski
In this episode of our Threat Vector podcast, you’ll learn how AI and LLMs impact social engineering, phishing and more.
Five Security Concerns for CISOs and How to Address Them
Threat actors are leveraging AI to launch faster, smarter and more disruptive attacks. Reconnaissance that took weeks now takes hours, and the time from initial breach to data exfiltration is shrinking fast.
Why Smart People Fall for Phishing Attacks
Despite robust defenses at our fingertips, common phishing scams and spoofing attacks remain an ongoing issue. Unfortunately, these attacks aren’t disappearing; they’re simply evolving.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Security Assessment
Unit 42 is the threat intelligence, incident response, and security consulting arm of Palo Alto Networks helping organizations prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber incidents.
A Unit 42 AI Security Assessment evaluates the security risks created by your organization’s use, development and deployment of AI systems.
The assessment reviews AI applications, models, data flows, identities, third-party services and governance controls to identify exposures such as data leakage, insecure integrations, excessive access and misuse of AI capabilities.
Organizations deploying generative AI, building AI-enabled applications or preparing an enterprise AI strategy should consider an assessment. It is especially relevant when sensitive data, customer-facing applications or autonomous agents are involved.
AI can expose sensitive data, create new identity and access risks, introduce insecure third-party integrations and enable attackers to move faster. As AI systems gain access to data, tools and business workflows, weak controls can quickly become a broader security issue.
