Cisco open-sources tool to detect AI agents used in hacking campaigns
Original headline: Cisco open sources tool for detecting AI agents on hacking sprees
Cisco has released an open-source tool designed to detect AI agents that are being used in hacking operations. The tool is part of the Project Quarry initiative, which seeks to establish a common language for evaluating the behavior of AI agents. By making the code publicly available, Cisco aims to help the security community identify and mitigate AI-driven threats more effectively.
Detecting AI-driven attacks early can improve defensive response and reduce the impact of automated hacking.
