Security leaders face growing volumes and greater sophistication levels of AI-powered cyber threats. Examples of AI-driven cyber-attacks include phishing, vishing, deepfakes, social engineering, and frauds. Adding to a fast-evolving threat landscape or other factors such as geopolitical tensions, social engineering and new digital channels all used by adversaries to compromises businesses in the EMEA region.

To counter these threats, security teams need robust cyber resilience to thwart the following specific attack types:

Credential Phishing: targeting cloud platforms and collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint

AitM (Adversary-in-the-Middle) phishing: the growing availability of kits and services that bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Brand Impersonation: exploiting trust in consumer-facing brands to lure users into clicking

Smishing and Vishing: expanding beyond email to mobile and voice channels.
