“While this new scanner will help counter real-world attacker techniques currently, adversaries will adapt quickly to outflank this scanner,” said Keith Prabhu, founder and CEO of Confidis. “We are seeing a repeat of the ‘virus’ wars, where hackers kept evolving viruses to evade detection by using innovative techniques like polymorphic viruses.”
That said, the scanner is essential for companies that download open-source models to use or customize in their own systems, according to Varkey.
“For them, AI models become part of the supply chain, just like software libraries,” Varkey said. “The scanner is not a complete solution, but it is an important new layer of protection as AI adoption grows.”
