GenAI Cybersecurity Risks: The gift that keeps on giving your data away

As phishing attacks grow more advanced, even major tech companies have suffered losses exceeding $100 million from sophisticated email scams. With these threats evolving, messaging and collaboration tools are becoming particularly vulnerable, demanding enhanced, AI-driven protection to stay secure. In this webinar, we’ll dive into the latest multi-pronged phishing tactics, from impersonation scams to emerging threats like QR code phishing and MFA bypass. We’ll also explore how the exploitation of GenAI has resulted in more effective phishing campaigns, due to more convincing lures, deepfake videos and images, and malicious prompt engineering.

Protecting the Human Element Using Threat Intelligence

Have you ever sent an email to the wrong person? What about sending an email with the wrong attachment? What visibility do you have into these potential costly mistakes at your organisation? 

This lack of visibility into the risk of sensitive data loss from misdirected emails is a common problem for many organisations, resulting in negative impacts on their business, such as significant productivity loss when unreported incidents are detected.

To prevent these breaches, organisations need to address the unique email behaviours of each employee, including misdirected emails, miss-attached files, and data exfiltration.

Join this 30-minute live webinar to learn:

Why you need a layered approach to stop sensitive data loss on email
How Large Language Model (LLM) Classifiers are used to safeguard sensitive data and reduce false positives
How Behavioural Artificial Intelligence (AI) can stop sensitive data loss
How to handle data loss in diverse, multi-lingual environments
What you can do to stop sensitive data loss from misdirected emails in just days
We’ll also live demo how an Adaptive Email DLP solution stops misdirected emails for good.

Solving the #1 Data Loss Prevention issue with an Adaptive Approach to Email

Recent highly public breaches highlight the key role of identity in escalating a minor incursion into a business-impacting breach. Some defenders leveraging Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solutions focus on finding and remediating identity vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Others focus instead on accelerating their threat detection and response with the enterprise-wide deployment of deceptive resources. The best way ultimately to maximize identity security is by implementing both strategies together.

Join us for a 30-minute webinar and learn best practices for implementing an ITDR solution. You will learn:

- How and why attackers have shifted their tactics to be more focused on identity security
- Key elements of an identity security solution that will work for your organization
- Implementation strategies on how you can leverage an ITDR project

Deploying an Identity Threat Detection and Response Solution in Your Organization

Have you ever sent an email to the wrong person? What about sending an email with the wrong attachment? What visibility do you have into these potential costly mistakes at your organization? 

Email data breaches caused by insiders are a prolific problem, putting organizations and customers' data at risk. To prevent these breaches, organizations need to address the unique email behaviors of each employee, including misdirected emails, miss-attached files, and data exfiltration.

To mitigate human error, organizations need to adopt a tailored approach to address each employee's risky behavior. This involves understanding and benchmarking normal behavior to identify anomalies, mistakes, and malicious actions effectively.

Join this 30-minute live webinar to learn:

- Why you need a layered approach to stop sensitive data loss on email
- How historical email behavior and behavioral intelligence modelling provides the insights needed to stop email misdelivery
- How you can stop sensitive data loss from misdirected emails in just days with a live demo of an Adaptive Email DLP solution

Email continues to be the #1 threat vector and using impersonation is a top tactic for attackers. It’s important for organizations to take a holistic approach to protect trusted business communications and minimize impersonation risk. It starts with blocking impostor threats before they reach your employees, but it doesn’t stop there. You need to further defend against your brand being impersonated and implement advanced defenses against compromised supplier accounts.
