Description
As AI reshapes cybersecurity threats, understanding how scams are evolving has never been more critical. Welcome to Razorwire. I'm Jim, and today I'm talking with Noora Ahmed-Moshe, VP of Strategy and Operations at Hoxhunt. We'll explore how AI is transforming cybersecurity threats and what that means for protecting ourselves and our organisations. We discuss how traditional scams have changed with AI technology and look at why phishing remains a persistent problem, along with practical ways to make security training more effective. Noora explains her approach to combining smart technology with human awareness and why building a supportive security culture works better than focusing on mistakes. Join us to gain insights into today's cyber threats and take away actionable tips for how organisations can better prepare their teams. 3 Key Talking Points: AI-Enhanced Phishing Techniques: Discover how AI, including tools like ChatGPT, has drastically increased the volume and sophistication of phishing emails, making them harder to detect and more culturally nuanced.Positive Reinforcement in Training: Learn why a supportive, non-punitive approach to security awareness training—using gamification and rewards—can lead to better internalisation of security practices among employees.Deepfake Challenges: Understand the emerging threats posed by deepfake technology, particularly in a remote work environment, and how organisations can adapt their security measures to validate identities effectively. Tune in to this vital discussion to stay ahead of cyber threats and foster a culture of security within your organisation. Motivating Through Gamification:  "It is about motivating people and how you do that. And that's why at Hoxhunt, when we do our training, for example, in terms of social engineering attacks, we reward people anytime they report something. Then they're on a leaderboard, and it's all gamified. So it gives people this real sense of engagement, and that makes it positive."
