Deepfakes don’t exploit technology gaps. They exploit obedience.
99% of security leaders say they’re confident in their deepfake defenses. The average detection score is 44%. This post argues the industry is solving the wrong problem — and that verification culture, not detection technology, is the defensible response to AI-powered social engineering.
When the voice on the line sounds like your CEO: Navigating the new era of Al-driven social engineering
A recent incident involving a retail business highlights a critical shift in social engineering: attackers are now using AI-cloned voices to divert payments, moving past traditional email phishing. While technical filters remain necessary, they cannot see or block a conversation between two humans where trust is the primary exploit. This post argues that organizations must move beyond the “weakest link” mentality to build durable behavioral proficiency and verification protocols that survive high-pressure, high-fidelity attacks.
The leak of 47 political leaders: A case study in context-driven risk
A recent breach has exposed the personal data of 47 high-profile Spanish politicians, including regional presidents and high-ranking officials. The leak includes highly granular details: from national ID numbers to gas meter codes. For security leaders, this incident serves as a critical case study: exposed PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is not just a privacy failure; it is the ammunition for the next wave of hyper-personalized social engineering. We explore why context is the new weapon and how organizations must build a capable human defense layer to withstand it.
