Deep fake attacks are becoming an increasingly serious threat in today's digital age. These attacks use sophisticated technology to create fake audio and video recordings that can spread disinformation, damage reputations, or even influence political outcomes.
As a recent CNN article highlighted, deep fake attacks using AI are becoming a growing concern for businesses. In one recent case, a Hong Kong-based company was scammed out of $25.6 million after a finance worker at a multinational firm was tricked using deepfake technology to pose as the company’s CFO in a video conference call, according to Hong Kong police. To prevent such attacks, it's crucial for organizations to invest in advanced AI cyber training and realistic phishing testing.
Advanced cyber training should include education on the latest threats, such as deep fakes, and how to identify and prevent them. This training should be tailored to each organization's specific needs and regularly updated to keep up with the latest trends and technologies.
In addition to training, organizations should conduct regular phishing tests to assess their employees' ability to identify and report phishing attempts. These tests should be realistic and reflect the attacks employees are likely to encounter. Organizations can identify areas where employees need additional training or support by conducting these tests.
The use of AI in cyber attacks is a growing concern, and organizations must take steps to protect themselves. By investing in advanced AI spear phishing simulations and generated cyber training, businesses can stay ahead of the latest threats and prevent deep fake attacks using AI.
