I found this paper interesting, I’ve created an ai podcast with NotebookLM that goes through it, for those who would rather listen.
The SANS Technology Institute Research Review Journal highlights diverse cybersecurity studies conducted by students and mentored by expert faculty. A primary focus of this year’s publication is the impact of artificial intelligence, specifically how large language models affect code security, threat modeling, and automated defense. Beyond AI, the research covers critical advancements in cloud security, such as managing just-in-time access and mapping complex hybrid attack paths. Authors also investigate offensive and defensive operations, including the detection of malware obfuscation and the use of graph theory to expose malicious actors in open-source projects. Each study provides practical, data-driven solutions designed to help practitioners stay ahead of rapidly evolving technological threats. Ultimately, these sources serve as a guide for building a more secure and trustworthy digital environment through rigorous academic inquiry.
