Machine learning deemed a high security risk, survey finds - JAXenter

The CERT Division of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute has published an updated list of technologies that might give us headaches in the security department. The latest report can be considered an addendum to the CERT/CC 2016 Emerging Technology Domains Risk Survey. One of the goals of this report is to help the Department of Homeland Security United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) "make an informed decision about the best areas to focus resources for identifying new vulnerabilities, promoting good security practices, and increasing understanding of systemic vulnerability risk." Understanding trends and emerging technologies can help information security professionals, leaders of organizations, and others interested in information security to anticipate and prepare for such vulnerabilities. This technology is still developing and has only one proven business model to date, which is Bitcoin itself.
