Topic: Challenges in dealing sophisticated attacks: AI perspective.
Abstract: Phishing attacks, particularly in the form of sophisticated phishing, remain prevalent threats in the cybersecurity landscape, exploiting individuals’; reliance on communication systems in organisation. Current technology solutions do not, and in some cases cannot, address human vulnerabilities which are routinely exploited in targeted/sophisticated phishing attacks. This talk presents first kind of study done by my team to explore how security practitioners’ approach sophisticated phishing attacks and how employees rely on markers when determining the authenticity of email messages. Insight obtained from this research are in the landscape of AI and cybersecurity in terms of both challenges and opportunities.
