According to research by The Motley Fool, the global AI market is projected to surpass $826 billion by 2030. There’s a darker side to this story. AI isn’t just transforming industries—it’s being weaponized in alarming ways. This year alone, ransomware groups like RansomHub and state-backed actors used AI to launch disinformation campaigns, manipulate systems, and target individuals on a massive scale. So, how do you stay cyber resilient in this AI-driven threat landscape? Here are 4 recommendations for your organization: 1️⃣ Stay informed about the latest AI-enabled threats and attack strategies. 2️⃣ Utilize AI tools for real-time detection of vulnerabilities and suspicious activity. 3️⃣ Implement multi-factor authentication and train your team to spot phishing attempts. 4️⃣ Use advanced risk modeling and insurance to minimize potential damage.

Imagine receiving the job offer you've always dreamed of in your inbox. It promises a perfect role at a prestigious company, complete with an attractive salary and exceptional benefits. However, this opportunity may not be what it seems; it could be a sophisticated scam designed to take advantage of hopeful candidates… Researchers at ThreatBook recently uncovered a chilling trend: cybercriminals are using fake hiring sites to deliver malicious attacks. These sites leverage legitimate resources such as OneDrive, Google Cloud, and GitHub, so they can be hard to discern. Our Risk Operations Center has also been tracking the use of deepfake images to bypass biometric verification processes. This enables attackers to steal identities and engage in fraudulent banking activity like loan applications. Some of the new technology involves cloning virtual cameras, AI-powered face-swapping, and identity spoofing applications. These tactics aren’t just about corporate espionage—they affect anyone concerned about identity theft and personal security. If you’re job hunting in a competitive field or using digital banking apps, don’t let these threats catch you unaware. Here’s how to protect yourself: • Verify job offers: Cross-check any suspicious recruitment site or job posting with the official company website. • Safeguard personal data: Limit sharing sensitive information on social media and use strong privacy settings. • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA): Strengthen your online accounts by requiring multiple forms of identity verification. • Stay updated on threats: Use trusted cybersecurity resources to understand emerging trends like deepfakes and phishing scams. • Monitor your identity: Regularly check credit reports and financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Industries like aerospace and financial services may be the primary targets today, but these threats are evolving fast. With the right precautions, we can all stay ahead of these cyber risks. What steps are you taking to safeguard your identity? Let us know your thoughts below. 👇 #Cybersecurity #Deepfakes #FraudPrevention 

Cyber risk is a financial risk. Yet, our latest survey (conducted in partnership with YouGov) reveals that many UK business leaders struggle to view it this way — despite the urgency. Here are the key findings at a glance: • 72% of mid-to-large UK firms see data breaches as the top concern, but ransomware causes 80% of financial losses. • 47% faced outages of 12+ hours from third-party vendor breaches in the past year, yet only 35% believe vendor due diligence is effective. • Just 54% of firms track quantitative risk, limiting their ability to prioritize security investments or manage financial impacts. The financial cost of cybercrime is clear, with breaches averaging £10,830 per incident for mid-to-large firms. Yet only 45% find cyber insurance effective in reducing losses, and 30% of insured businesses filed no claims. The message is clear — traditional approaches are no longer enough. Quantifying risk, aligning strategies to financial outcomes, and optimizing security investments are the new essentials of cyber resilience. How can businesses bridge these gaps?

2024 was a record year for data breaches. With thousands of data breaches reported this year, we are on track to surpass 2023’s totals, highlighting a troubling escalation in cybersecurity challenges. Severe breaches like those affecting Ticketmaster, National Public Data, and ClickBalance underscore the evolving tactics of threat actors. Here’s what stood out: 1️⃣ Severity is rising, with individual incidents compromising over 1 billion records. 2️⃣ Top sectors hit: Manufacturing and business services experienced the most breaches, while the U.S. remained the most-targeted region. 3️⃣ Third-party risks persist: Many organizations suffered due to vulnerabilities in their supply chains—a trend likely to grow in 2025. 4️⃣ Notable cybercrime trends include Malware advertisements, particularly infostealers, and loaders, dominated illicit forums, alongside demand for zero-day exploits and DDoS services. As we look to 2025, organizations must adapt to the evolving threat landscape by prioritizing vendor monitoring, enhancing cyber resilience, and preparing for the emergence of new malware families.

Are your EDR settings silently letting threats slip by? In our recent webinar, Jose Barajas, VP of Global Sales Engineering at AttackIQ, shared some eye-opening findings from our Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) studies. On average, EDRs only catch the top 7 adversary techniques 39% of the time—not because of the tech itself, but often due to complex misconfiguration. With some EDRs having up to 200 different settings, it’s no surprise that teams can struggle to balance configuration and effectiveness. This is why consistent testing is key. By regularly running real-world simulations, you can confidently gauge and adjust your EDR’s strength, eliminating those “silent failures” before they’re exploited. Watch the full webinar to learn how BAS uses real data to help uncover the true resilience of your EDR and other security controls. 📺 Link: https://lnkd.in/gZwNN6aZ #EDR #Cybersecurity #CyberRisk #BreachAndAttackSimulations
