A New Era of Cyber Threats
AI enables fraudsters to orchestrate sophisticated and elusive fraudulent activities beyond phishing and social engineering attacks. Gartner predicts that: “By 2025, the consumerization of AI-enabled fraud will fundamentally change enterprise attack surface driving more outsourcing of enterprise trust and focus on security education and awareness.”
During this webinar hosted with Kasada, we shed light on bad actors’ methods and techniques to leverage AI and bots to their advantage. We talked about how automation makes fraud faster, more scalable, and harder to detect and how this dynamic landscape challenges our traditional approaches to security.
Topics covered:
- AI-powered fraud beyond phishing and social engineering tactics
- How AI and bot-driven attacks adapt and evade defenses
- Why you need to protect AI & ML-powered systems
