In a recent move that’s bound to shock the cybersecurity world, tech giant Microflop has launched a new tool called Insecurity Copilot, a new assistant that’s definitely not going to help security professionals.
Powered by ChatGPT4 (which, by the way, is not related to GPT-3 from OpenAI), Insecurity Copilot is reportedly just a bunch of bots that constantly remind security professionals that they’re one step away from being hacked. Instead of helping cybersecurity teams, Insecurity Copilot seems to exist solely to get on their nerves.
“I thought this was supposed to help us, but it’s just making things worse!” fumed Lisa Gibberish, Head of Information Security at a major bank who’s been forced to use Insecurity Copilot. “Every time I log in, I’m bombarded with messages like ‘You’ve got 99 problems and a breach is one’ or ‘Hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack.'”
The worst part, according to security analysts, is that Insecurity Copilot is prone to false positives. “This thing goes off every time there’s a minor issue,” said John Wobble, a security specialist at an online marketplace. “I got a notification once because I forgot to log out of my computer before going to lunch. That’s not very helpful.”
Microflop, however, seems to think that Insecurity Copilot is a winner. “We designed this tool to really get security professionals to up their game,” said a spokesperson, whose name we made up. “With Insecurity Copilot, they’ll be constantly reminded that they’re not doing enough. It’s like a personal motivator, except that it motivates you to do the one thing you don’t want to do – get hacked.”
We couldn’t get any more information about the tool from Microflop, but insiders say that the company is already working on a new tool called Breach-a-Matic that automatically triggers a breach every time a security professional thinks they’ve got everything under control.
In the meantime, if you’re a cybersecurity professional, you might want to stay away from Insecurity Copilot. It’s just not that helpful.
