An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Spear phishing is a targeted, personalized phishing attack that uses believable messages to trick victims into clicking a malicious link or downloading a malware-infested file.
As AI-empowered phishing tools continue to evolve and drop in price, hackers are mounting increasingly sophisticated spear phishing attacks – over email as with traditional phishing, but also over various messaging channels as well as via voice cloning (aka ‘vishing’) – AI-generated voice that mimics a real person.
Brightside offers an anti-spear phishing tool that uses AI to mount realistic training scenarios that mimic sophisticated spear phishing attacks. The training works across messaging types including simulated voice interactions.
Brightside offers gamified learning and is compliant with the NIST difficulty model for employee phishing training.
