Think like an attacker, Build like an engineer
By Chaim Mazal, GitLab CISO
Advanced models and agentic systems are compressing the time and cost required to find and exploit weaknesses. The risks themselves are familiar: an open server, an over-scoped credential, or an exposed deployment path.
To keep pace, organisations need AI resilient security programmes that scale with how this technology evolves. AI resilience is just cyber resilience moving towards an attacker-first, engineering-led model.
The underlying work is not new, but the mindset is. A defender mindset waits for identified activity to inform decisions. An attacker mindset proactively searches for gaps across the programme, the threat landscape, and the asset estate.
That is why I encourage my teams to think proactively by looking at AI through an adversarial lens and finding ways AI can strengthen defences. Nearly all security defences started as tools built to exploit environments, and security teams later repurposed them for defence. As cybersecurity professionals,...
