Discussing cybersecurity strategies in the AI era, an industry expert proposed that cybersecurity isn't a fortress problem, but an immunity problem.
Just as vaccines don't eliminate pathogens but teach the immune system to recognize and adapt, it is practically impossible to eliminate threats as attackers use AI to constantly mutate their methods. The expert urged the community to use open models as a tool to simulate both offense and defense, thereby building an adaptive "immune system" for software.
