Bolster the Human Element of Defenses to Combat AI-Enabled Phishing

Bolster the Human Element of Defenses to Combat AI-Enabled Phishing

AI has upleveled phishing sophistication. With the removal of tell-tale spelling or grammatical mistakes, the speed of creating and spreading BEC and other phishing campaigns at a much faster rate (thereby increasing the attack surface), and the ability to deploy spear phishing at scale; not to mention the commoditization of deep fakes, it’s no wonder social engineering and phishing – already one of the top threat vectors year-over-year – remains a top concern of every organization. We’ve been trying to reduce risk with a combination of technical defenses, training and security awareness for years, but attackers still manage to phish their way into our networks. This symposium digs into new ways to approach securing the human element of phishing and social engineering defenses.

• The evolving sophistication of phishing, including AI-enabled phishing, vishing and deepfakes, and which tools in our current defense arsenal are still beneficial, which are obsolete, and which need to be adjusted
• How to identify and measure risky users and tailor your phishing program based on the human risk element
• Adapting security interventions appropriate to the level of user risk, including options for low, medium, and high-risk users
• Measuring for success – key metrics to reshape your mitigation approach
