Emerging cyber threats in 2023 from AI to quantum to data poisoning
ByKayneKayne McGladrey, field CISO at Hyperproof, has seen the evidence. He worked with one organization whose executives received a contract for review and signature. “Nearly everything looked right,” McGladrey says. The only noticeable mistake was a minor error in the company’s name, which the chief counsel caught. But Gen AI isn’t just boosting the hackers’ speed and sophistication, it’s also expanding their reach, McGladrey says. Hackers can now use gen AI to create phishing campaigns with believable text in nearly any language, including those that have seen fewer attack attempts to date because the language is hard to learn or rarely spoken by non-native speakers.
The future looks bright if Generation AI can address cybersecurity
ByKayneThere’s quite a lot of optimism in Generation AI, the IEEE study of millennial parent’s attitudes about artificial intelligence. The findings of the study are evolutionary, not revolutionary, as views towards artificial intelligence have become more refined over the years. However, the optimism shown in this study pre-supposes that we can move past our current cybersecurity issues.
Setting The Four Cornerstones Of Cloud Security: Accountability, Strategy, Visibility & Enablement
ByKayneWe talk about ‘data breaches’ because of regulatory and statutory definitions that focus on the disclosure of data. An organization’s security strategy should work with the end in mind, and focus heavily on denying threat actors access to those data with the highest regulatory, statutory, or contractual risks.
The Phishing Phenomenon: How To Keep Your Head Above Water
ByKaynePhishing is the lowest cost way for a threat actor to gain access to an organization’s network and assets, according to Kayne McGladrey, an IEEE member and director of Security and IT at Pensar Development. “While it might be fashionable to worry about the latest zero-day, or shadowy nation-state threat actors developing crippling remote exploits, the fact is that it’s cheaper to ask users for their passwords.”
The fact that nearly a billion people had their personal information exposed in November 2018 “has further helped threat actors to develop more compelling and targeted phishing content,’’ McGladrey adds.
