Insider Threat Awareness Month: Fake Faces, Real Damage: The Corporate Risk of AI-Powered Manipulation. Security professionals are rapidly confronting a new reality: artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, while excellent tools for improving productivity and business operations, are equally lowering the barriers for sophisticated attacks by a wide range of threat groups. From hostile nation-states to issue-motivated groups to cybercriminals, these technologies are enabling attacks that are more personalized, scalable, and harder to detect. The widespread availability of our personal data—from what we post on social media to the massive resale of information gathered by data brokers from both our devices and our online activity—has made open-source data the key ingredient for highly effective AI-driven deception and disruption and enabled the creation of deepfakes.
