A lot of AI security has nothing to do with AI -- things like data privacy, access controls, and identity are concerns for any new software and in many cases AI concerns look more like old-school API concerns. But...there are still important aspects to AI safety and security, from prompt injection to jailbreaking to authenticity. Caleb Sima explains why it's important to understand the different types of AI and the practical tasks necessary to secure how it's used.

We already have bug bounties for web apps so it was only a matter of time before we would have bounties for AI-related bugs. Keith Hoodlet shares his experience winning first place in the DOD's inaugural AI bias bounty program. He explains how his education in psychology helped fill in the lack of resources in testing an AI's bias. Then we discuss how organizations should approach the very different concepts of AI security and AI safety.

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Train How You Fight. In part 1, we discuss the importance of training for a cyber incident. However, lots of organizations do not take it seriously, causing mistakes during an actual cyber incident. How will the lack of preparation impact your organization during an incident?

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, we dig into the hard part of our Say Easy, Do Hard segment. In part 2, we discuss how to train for a cyber instance. We'll cover the elements of a training program that will prepare you for responding to a cyber incident, including:

• Developing the training program
• Practice, practice, practice
• Imposing corrective actions
• Constantly evaluating/reviewing the success of the training program
