SINGAPORE: The Cyber Security Agency (CSA) on Wednesday (Apr 15) urged companies in Singapore to strengthen cybersecurity measures, citing the potential for increased risks from frontier artificial intelligence models.
The advisory comes days after Anthropic previewed its latest frontier AI model Mythos, amid a wave of hype over its capabilities.
The UK’s AI Security Institute has found that Mythos is more capable of being used for complex cyberattacks than other AI tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini.
Frontier AI models, which are among the most advanced systems available, may accelerate the identification of system vulnerabilities and the development of exploits from months to hours, CSA said in its advisory.
Firms are advised to take immediate mitigation measures, including patching internet-facing vulnerabilities, implementing multi-factor authentication, and reviewing user permissions to remove unnecessary access rights.
