Organizations Prepare for More Evolved AI-Based Cyber Attacks as Deepfakes Become Top Concern

New data on how the threat of AI in cyber crime is being seen as a growing risk provides insight into how organizations are shifting from reaction to prevention.

According to endpoint security vendor Deep Instinct’s Voice of SecOps report, 97% of organizations are concerned they will suffer a security incident as a result of adversarial AI. The advent of new malicious LLM-based AI platforms are allowing cybercriminals to get their hands on sophisticated tech and create convincing deepfakes.

According to the report:

• 61% of organizations have seen deepfake incidents increase in the past year
• 75% of these attacks impersonating the CEO or another member of the C-suite
• Deepfakes are the top concern among organizations, with 34% seeing these kinds of attacks as a major or critical threat

As a result, 73% of organizations are using AI attacks as the catalyst to shift cybersecurity strategies to that of prevention over response. And the top method organizations are turning to (47% of organizations) is that of security awareness training, followed by predictive prevention platforms and endpoint detection and response.
