It is no secret that cybercriminal attacks are getting increasingly superior with every passing day. The attacks aim to extract confidential information and make profits. Criminals behind such attacks target anyone, from individuals to high-value companies. One attack, however, is made to attack CEOs or high-profile individuals.
It is no hidden fact that cyberattacks are getting more nuanced day in and day out. One of the latest technology-based cyber threats looming over is deepfakes. The word “deepfake” can be broken down into “deep,” meaning it uses deep learning, and “fake” because the content of the picture, audio, or video generated is computerized by specialized algorithms and is not real.
The rise in remote work has led to an increased need for cyber security awareness as cyber threats have increased by 81% since the global pandemic. A TalentLMS survey found that 61% of employees failed a basic data security quiz, despite receiving cyber security training from their organisation.
