New research from SoSafe indicates a dramatic increase in multichannel cyber attacks, with 94% of organizations reporting more incidents over the past year. Attackers are using multiple platforms, including email, SMS, and social media, sometimes leveraging AI tools to create believable deepfakes. This method fosters urgency and credibility, making it challenging for victims to discern legitimate communications. Although a significant majority recognizes the threat of AI in cybersecurity, only 26% feel capable of effectively detecting these sophisticated attacks. Experts believe that as AI technology evolves, so too will the tactics of cyber criminals.
Organizations are seeing a steep rise in multichannel attacks fueled in part by an uptick in AI cyber crime.
Imagine a vice president receiving a call from the 'CEO' asking them to execute an urgent action, followed by a confirming message on another medium like Teams or Slack.
A sophisticated multi-channel attack could be the perfect crime, combining technical expertise, social engineering, a narrative, and an AI in a way that few organizations are equipped to defend against.
91% of respondents expect the threat and intensity of AI-based cyber attacks to increase over the next three years.
