Dr. David Brumley, professor at Carnegie Mellon University, recently wrote a five-part AI lecture series on the Bugcrowd blog.

In the final installment of this series, he looks at defense using AI. This post covers:

• Autonomous defenders: From research to production
• AI in the SOC: Signal from noise
• The compliance clock: What you need to know now
• How security leaders should look at strategic framing

The threat landscape this series describes isn’t theoretical. Prompt injection vulnerabilities, tool abuse paths, and agentic attack chains are active, and the researcher community is finding them in production systems today. Learn more in the blog.
