The rapid advancement of deepfake technology has introduced a formidable challenge for businesses worldwide. What was once an amusing novelty in digital media has now become a serious cybersecurity threat, with cybercriminals leveraging deepfake videos, audio, and images to deceive employees, manipulate financial transactions, and compromise sensitive information.
Enter the Information Security Analyst (ISA) — a key figure in an organisation’s defence against cyber threats. Far from being just another IT role, an ISA is pivotal to safeguarding sensitive information, ensuring compliance, and maintaining business continuity. This article explores the role of an Information Security Analyst and provides a detailed examination of why C-level executives must prioritise information security within their organisations.
Whaling attacks, a sophisticated form of cybercrime, have become a significant cyber threat to businesses of all sizes. Targeting high-profile individuals within organisations, these attacks exploit the trust and authority of C-Level executives to deceive employees into performing fraudulent actions. Attackers can trick employees into transferring funds, disclosing sensitive information, or compromising critical systems by impersonating top executives.
Hackers can exploit a technique called ‘SurfingAttack’, which is a form of ultrasonic hacking, to issue silent commands to voice assistants in your devices (like smartphones).
