As AI-generated deepfake attacks and identity fraud become more prevalent, companies are developing response plans to address these threats, according to GetApp.
Much like phishing attack preparation, it appears that companies are looking to run simulations of attacks to increase preparedness as a majority of respondents work in companies where this is already implemented.
Awareness and practice of encountering deepfake attacks are both important for getting the workforce prepared to deal with these evolving threats.
60% of global IT and security professionals say their companies have developed measures to defend against AI-generated deepfake attacks.
77% of surveyed professionals report that their companies have increased cybersecurity investments over the last 18 months.
The threat posed by biometric fraud and deepfake technology is a serious cause for concern for companies.
