Stunning to see such a big investment! This really is testament to how great tech (behavioural AI to stop fraud and day-zero attacks), combined with great leadership, delivers a high value product. Onwards and upwards! #bec #fraud #abnormalsecurity

Phishing emails are already one of the leading causes of data breaches, with the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report stating that 68% of all breaches involve the human element. With an increase in #AI, these attacks will only get more sophisticated and difficult to detect by the average human, making it impossible for enterprises to defend themselves. Unfortunately, we are approaching a world in the age of AI where all digital communications cannot be trusted and must be assumed bad until proven otherwise. This future world will make it increasingly difficult to do business, and near impossible when humans can not distinguish between authentic content and a malicious attack. The solution? #BehavioralAI to defend against these AI-powered attacks. #cyberattacks #cyberdefense

This is huge news! Our adversaries are becoming more proficient leveraging AI on a daily basis and targeting humans. Organizations need to invest in advanced AI security solutions to keep up with today's modern threats.

Abnormal Email Security raises $250 Mil at $5 Bn valuation ! here are some interesting stuff about them - The founders were not from cybersecurity industry - Their competition was there in the market for 10+ years - They entered an already 'so called' crowded market - They did not bundle with any EDR / XDR product early in their growth stage - They pioneered Post-delivery detection which sounds counter-intuitive when you are selling for the first time to CISOs - CrowdStrike invested in them - They proved that UX mattered in this industry Abnormal Security is a huge inspiration for us, looking for further success

We're thrilled to take a major stride towards fortifying the #security and #safety of #AIsystems. This $2.5M seed funding led by RTP Global will allow us to exponentially expand our cutting-edge AI security solutions. The adoption of Generative AI has opened a new cybersecurity attack surface for those leveraging the technology. SydeLabs’ comprehensive AI security and risk management solutions address this emerging concern. Our solutions help to identify security and safety vulnerabilities in enterprise AI systems and prevent them in real time, helping mitigate cybersecurity attacks and abuse. This investment brings us closer to our vision of secure and responsible AI benefiting society. Thank you to our partners RTP Global, Galina Chifina, and Picus Capital, Naman Jhawar for investing in our mission of trustworthy AI innovation. Thank You Forbes and David Prosser for giving us a mention and covering our story. https://lnkd.in/geEUeTih

Over the last five years, Abnormal Security has made major strides in bringing AI-powered cybersecurity to market. Our behavioral AI approach now protects 2,000+ customers from social engineering attacks and account takeovers across cloud email with 10x the efficacy and accuracy of any other solution. But these attacks are no longer limited to just email — they’re happening across platforms, exploiting the #1 vulnerability in organizations today - people. Abnormal AI understands human behavior better than humans, and we’re continuously looking at ways to extend this capability to additional applications that are vital to the enterprise but remain unprotected. Today, we are excited to share five product announcements demonstrating how we are expanding our detection capabilities to stop more attacks in more places while giving our customers powerful tools to advance AI leadership within their businesses. Abnormal CEO Evan Reiser shares more about these new products in his latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/eAJQBbTp

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the rise of deepfake technology represents not just an advancement in AI, but a formidable new frontier in digital deception. Deepfake technology, which leverages powerful AI algorithms to create hyper-realistic video and audio content, is rapidly transforming from a novelty into a serious threat. Initially captivating public attention through celebrity face-swaps and voice impersonations, this technology has quickly gained notoriety for its potential misuse in spreading disinformation, committing fraud, and undermining trust in digital communications. The implications for cybersecurity are profound. As CISOs and CTOs, we find ourselves at the vanguard of developing defensive strategies against deepfake-induced vulnerabilities. The challenge is twofold: first, in identifying and mitigating potential threats before they manifest; and second, in educating our teams and stakeholders about the nature of these threats to prevent panic and misinformation. This evolving threat landscape underscores the necessity for continuous innovation in cybersecurity measures. AI and machine learning tools that can detect subtle discrepancies in deepfake videos are part of the solution. However, equally important are comprehensive governance policies and an informed cybersecurity culture that can adapt to new forms of digital fraud. As we navigate through these murky waters, one thing remains clear: staying ahead in cybersecurity means staying informed about emerging technologies like deepfakes—not just their potential for harm but also for how they can be harnessed for positive uses within the realm of digital forensics and beyond. How is your organization preparing to combat the rise of deepfakes? Let's continue to foster a dialogue that keeps us all one step ahead. #ai #cisoevents #cybersecurity #fintech #horizonsummit #investors #cios #ciso #cto

#Cybersecurity has always been asymmetric, with attackers enjoying greater freedom of action than any defender and being able to deal outsized damage with relative impunity. Now that AI is here, shouldn’t it save the day? Current AI solutions like LLMs have proven extremely useful to attackers but not so much to defenders. Why? Because they are noisy and unpredictable, which greatly reduces their utility in testing and protection. But all is not lost—get the full picture on the Invicti blog: https://okt.to/FpjsgY #AI #LLM #AppSec
