Crossword Cybersecurity PLC, a leading cybersecurity firm, has unveiled a new CyberAI Practice to address the growing concerns surrounding the adoption of generative AI (Gen AI) and large language models (LLMs) by companies. The practice, part of Crossword’s consulting business, serves as a ‘centre of excellence’ consolidating the company’s extensive knowledge and expertise in AI across its consulting and product teams.
Stuart Jubb, Crossword Cybersecurity’s group managing director, highlighted the lack of understanding among chief information security officers (CISOs) regarding the risks associated with Gen AI and LLMs. In an interview with Proactive London, Jubb emphasized the need for companies to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage these risks effectively.
The CyberAI Practice draws upon collaborations with major industry partners, academics from prestigious institutions like Oxford University and MIT, as well as researchers from the Alan Turing Institute. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that the practice is well-informed and able to provide comprehensive solutions to clients.
One of the key services offered by the CyberAI Practice is workshops aimed at educating clients on the potential risks of AI, particularly the increased threat landscape and data integrity issues posed by LLMs. Additionally, the practice advises on leveraging AI for business enhancement, focusing on automation and security product improvement, while also addressing the potential for AI to be used in cyber attacks.
Crossword Cybersecurity’s approach also incorporates tools like Trillion HarVista, which enables rapid analysis of dark web activities and provides early warnings on cyber threats. By combining expertise, educational resources, and advanced tools, the CyberAI Practice aims to equip companies with the knowledge and capabilities to navigate the challenges posed by Gen AI and LLMs effectively.
