Robert Tripp, special agent in charge of the San Francisco Field Office of the FBI, details the effect of AI on cyber and financial crime, giving the example of how a few seconds of a blank call resulted in a woman losing a substantial sum to a hacker using AI voice cloning.
Telesign CEO Christophe Van de Weyer discusses why artificial intelligence is the best form of defense against AI-enabled cyberattacks, including more sophisticated phishing attacks, highly convincing deepfake audio and video, and fraudulent login attempts.
Generative AI has ushered in a new era of cybersecurity, presenting opportunities for innovation while also posing threats to AI models. "It's a curse and a blessing," and the state of cybersecurity is "vibrant" and experiencing a "golden age," said Dave DeWalt, founder and CEO, NightDragon.
Security leaders convened at the Cybersecurity Implications of AI Summit to explore AI's potential for defense while navigating privacy, compliance and ethical considerations. Key sessions covered safeguarding data privacy, Washington's AI Task Force and a tabletop exercise on deepfake attacks.
Banks are concerned about advancements in voice-cloning technology and the threat it poses to authentication. The failure of identity-centric solutions to combat synthetic identity fraud has convinced 91% of U.S. banks to reconsider their use of voice verification for major customers.
At many financial institutions, your voice is your password. Tiny variations in pitch, tone and timbre make human voices an ideal method for authenticating customers - as long as computers can't be trained to synthesize those pitch, tone and timbre characteristics in real time. They can.
The U.S. presidential election is still eight months away, but the FBI is already seeing its share of cyberattacks, nation-state threats and AI-generated deepfakes. According to FBI Agent Robert K. Tripp, "We're no longer considering threats as a what-if situation; it's happening now."
In the latest "Proof of Concept," Jeff Brown, CISO for the state of Connecticut, and Lester Godsey, CISO for Maricopa County, Arizona, join ISMG editors to discuss AI-related threats to election security, safeguarding against cyber and physical threats and coordinating efforts for complete security.
In the latest weekly update, Jeremy Grant of Venable LLP joins editors at ISMG to discuss the state of secure identity in 2024, the challenges in developing next-generation remote ID proofing systems, and the potential role generative AI can play in both compromising and protecting identities.
Fraudsters used deepfake technology to trick an employee at a Hong Kong-based multinational company to transfer $25.57 million to their bank accounts. Hong Kong Police said Sunday that the fraudsters had created deepfake likenesses of top company executives in a video conference to fool the worker.
Do you have what it takes to build defenses that can easily and reliably spot voice cloning that is generated using artificial intelligence tools? If so, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission wants you to apply to its Voice Cloning Challenge, which promises a top prize of $25,000.
The U.K. government is in no rush to legislate artificial intelligence, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Michelle Donelan said on Wednesday, warning that a hard regulatory approach to AI could risk stifling innovation in this emerging sector of the economy.
In the future, deepfake technology will have a significant impact on newer forms of authentication such as voice and facial recognition and pose new challenges to defenders, said Ofer Friedman, chief business development officer at AU10TIX, an Israel-headquartered identity verification company.
By the numbers, who has implemented GenAI in their organization? Who has a dedicated budget? And who understands the AI regulations for their industry? An expert panel discusses the findings of ISMG's First Annual Generative AI Study: Business Rewards vs. Security Risks.
AWS is doubling down on its bid for the growing market for generative AI tools. During AWS re:Invent 2023 on Wednesday, the cloud hyperscaler highlighted its AI-ready platform that supports multiple large language models - and a new offering to compete in the crowded AI image generator space.
