The nature of fraudulent content has taken on new dimensions with the emergence of generative AI. This new era has ushered in tools capable of creating fake images, voices and videos that can be difficult to distinguish from genuine content, warned Bryan Ware, chief development officer at ZeroFox.
Chen Burshan, the CEO of Skyhawk Security, wants to use the power of generative AI as part of the threat detection flow. Organizations with risk management tools in place and risk reduction occurring are still getting breached and therefore need to focus more on threat detection, he said.

This year's massive exploitation of managed file transfer products such as Fortra's GoAnywhere and Progress Software's MOVEit proves that MFTs are a hacker's paradise. Research by John Dwyer of IBM Security X-Force shows why and also reveals a path toward protecting MFTs in the future.
Large enterprises may have hundreds or thousands of APIs. Concerns over API vulnerabilities have been around for years, but most organizations outside of highly regulated industries such as banking have not taken the steps to understand the threats they face, said Richard Bird, CSO at Traceable.
The cyber insurance landscape has evolved significantly over the last 10 to 15 years. Initially, renewals were relatively straightforward, but with the rise of cyberthreats such as ransomware, the market has shifted dramatically to reduce risk exposure.
