China's GLM-5.2 shows how open-source AI is changing the cyber threat landscape

This report examines the cybersecurity implications of increasingly capable open-weight AI models (e.g., GLM-5.2), warning that local deployment and modifiability lower barriers for misuse; it recommends maintaining fundamentals like Zero Trust, strict application control, and visibility to limit the potential for AI-assisted attacks rather than relying on model-specific defenses.
