The deepfake dilemma: The importance of deepfake awareness training

Enterprise security departments face a plethora of risks. One of the most significant threats that has emerged in recent years is that of deepfakes. These sophisticated artificial intelligence-powered manipulations of audio and video content seem rather innocuous on paper, but their creation and dissemination are exemplars of a broader large-scale organizational threat. As far as security departments are concerned, implementing a comprehensive deepfake awareness training program has become critical for forward-thinking executives managing enterprise risk…

Zero trust: The next evolution in cybersecurity

As the number of connected devices continues to grow, so does the vulnerability of networks to cyber-attacks. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has exponentially expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals. Traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer sufficient in this environment, leading to the adoption of a more comprehensive security framework: zero trust. What is zero trust? At its core, zero trust operates on a…

Transform what video intelligence can become with AI

AI-powered video analytics are turning security cameras into robust sensors that can improve how you monitor security at your sites. With artificial intelligence (AI), cameras can detect threats independently and accurately, without the need for a human to constantly watch video feeds. No surprise there — this has been a key part of several megatrends from the Security Industry Association (SIA) for the past few years. But thanks to technology advancements and network convergence, they…

Generative AI poses several security risks

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) was analyzed in a recent report by Transmit. The report includes screenshots of dark web forums, marketplaces and subscription-based services.  According to the report, Blackhat Gen-AI tools make it easier to create and automate fraud campaigns, resulting in an increased volume, velocity and variety of attacks. GenAI tools automate pentesting to find enterprise vulnerabilities and circumvent security used by specific targets. Configuration (config) files, generated with the assistance of GenAI, are used for…

Protecting financial institutions in the era of AI-driven threats

As open-source AI tools become more accessible, ransomware attacks are growing increasingly sophisticated. Scammers are now using AI in targeted spear phishing attacks, where highly personalized information is used to gain access to medical or financial information.  Financial service organizations are particularly at risk when it comes to these kinds of attacks — not only do they hold and exchange large sums of money, they also store and process highly sensitive information of their customers. …
