New AI tool Chitos automates cyber defense against autonomous attacks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new AI-powered security tool named Chitos has been developed to automate defense against increasingly autonomous cyberattacks. This tool can autonomously generate audit hypotheses, research alternative attack paths when blocked, and uses an AI verification layer to filter false positives, ensuring reproducible evidence. Chitos demonstrates improved performance on the OWASP Benchmark, achieving higher scores with its AI verification layer compared to base scanners and publicly available commercial tools. AI

IMPACT Automates cybersecurity defense, potentially improving efficiency and accuracy in identifying and mitigating threats.
