Corma trains defensive AI to counter AI-driven cyber threats

Corma is developing a foundation model specifically for defensive cybersecurity, aiming to counter the growing threat of AI-driven offensive attacks. Initial red/blue team simulations revealed that defenders, even when using the same AI model as the attackers, failed to detect planted backdoors 78% of the time. This initiative seeks to close the gap in defensive cybersecurity capabilities. AI

IMPACT This development could lead to more robust AI-powered defenses against sophisticated cyberattacks, potentially shifting the balance in cybersecurity.
