Generative AI has significantly broadened the arsenal of cybercriminals, enabling activities such as deepfakes and crafting counterfeit documents. In response, OpenAI has invested in Adaptive Security, a startup that uses AI to help businesses train employees to identify and manage potential social engineering attacks. By mimicking real-life scenarios, including voice calls and texts from spoofed sources, this platform educates staff on recognizing threats. The investment reflects a proactive stance against the rising vulnerabilities posed by advanced AI technologies, especially in social engineering hacks that exploit human behavior.
"Adaptive Security simulates AI-generated 'hacks' to train employees to spot these threats."
"These kinds of 'social engineering' hacks, while basic, have led to huge losses-think of Axie Infinity, which lost over $600 million due to a fake job offer."
