Huoxian Security: Advancing Cybersecurity Through Equality and Empowerment

“White-hat hackers” are individuals who legally and ethically discover and resolve vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. Their work is critical for security researchers, who strengthen cybersecurity by proactively finding vulnerabilities and reporting issues to relevant organizations, helping to fix them before malicious hackers can exploit them. In recent years, AI technology has made significant advances in various fields. Mr. Wu’s expertise and achievements in “WooYun” (literally translated as “black cloud”, which refers to the security risks faced by online communities) mentioned in the article have played an important role in maintaining global Internet security. He played a leadership role in transforming WooYun from a niche security community with less than 2,000 members to the largest white hat platform with over 20,000 registered members. What’s more, through this platform, some important security incidents are discovered and disclosed; therefore, businesses and individuals can prevent further damage. From your perspective, what are the current major limitations of AI technology in the field of cybersecurity? Looking ahead, how do you envision the Huoxian security platform utilizing AI technology to propel the progress of the entire cybersecurity industry?

From this perspective, I have doubts about whether AI’s creativity can surpass top hackers, just like AI has not yet become the greatest inventor, writer, or musician in the world. If AI cannot fully transcend the capabilities of top hackers, it implies that we still face the risk of hacker intrusions.

However, on the other hand, it’s evident that AI can enhance the capabilities of the security industry. For instance, AI can learn from a vast amount of attack data and thereby summarize and even predict possible attack behaviors, which…
