Many AI Impliementations Lack Mandated Security Requirements
Policy and Procedure AI Security Compliance Management Made Easy
Common findings include use of default and potentially insecure settings for AI-related services, deploying vulnerable AI packages, and not following security hardening guidelines.
Popular packages used to automate the creation, training, and deployment of AI models include Python scikit-learn, Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), PyTorch, TensorFlow, Transformers, LangChain, CUDA, Keras, PyTorch Lighting, and Streamlit. Around 62% of organizations used at least one machine learning package that contained an unpatched vulnerability.
More than half of organizations (56%) whose cloud assets were tested had adopted AI models to build applications for specific use cases. This often means using a cloud service that provides access to AI models, deploying models locally along with training data, deploying associated storage buckets, or using specific machine learning tools.
Organizations also regularly expose AI-related API access keys inside code repositories and commit histories. According to Orcas report, 20% of organizations had exposed OpenAI keys, 35% had exposed API keys for the Hugging Face machine learning platform, and 13% had exposed API keys for Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude family of LLMs.

IT Pros face hiring shutdown
IT Pros High Unemployment - Hiring Stalls
With the unemployment rate for IT pros at over 5.5% for two months, the unemployed IT Pros fare facing the prospect of taking several months to find positions comparable to their prior ones.
In July the IT job market size shrank by 6,900 jobs while 17,500 jobs added in the last 12 months.
CIOs and CFOs in most companies have halted hiring of ne IT Pros entirely. Some have ever pulled back requisitions for critical replacements. Fears of a recession, political uncertainty with a looming election, and the possibility of US entanglement in another war are all driving factors.
AI may not be the force for recovery as nearly a third of those projects will be abandoned within 12 months of inception - largely due to poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs, or unclear business value.
