Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: When an Attack Looks Credible
What if the next phishing attempt did not look like phishing at all?
With AI, phishing, social engineering and impersonation can become increasingly sophisticated: well-written messages, a tone consistent with that of a colleague, contextual information and requests that appear entirely plausible.
In other words, an attack can look authentic. And this is where the challenge changes. We can no longer rely solely on people’s ability to recognize something suspicious.
What is needed is an integrated approach. Cybersecurity cannot depend on a single layer of defense:
👤 People, aware of new attack techniques.
⚙️ Processes, with clear procedures for verifying sensitive requests and authorizations.
🔐 Technology, to protect identities, access, data and business systems.
The real question, therefore, is no longer simply:
“Would our employees recognize a phishing attempt?”
But rather:
“What would happen if they didn’t?”
