- Three out of five companies have experienced deepfake attacks recently, Gartner finds
- Audio and video depths are increasingly accessible to attackers
- A rapid injection also gives criminals access to sensitive information from the company
Gartner says that even small businesses face a peak in cybercrime, and AI could be to blame – more than three -fifths (62%) of organizations reporting AI attacks in the past year.
The company’s study revealed that three out of five (62%, still) experienced deep attacks, 44%knowing deep audio attacks, making it the most common attack vector compared to video depths (36%).
Quick injection attacks against AI tools (32%) and attacks on the generative application infrastructure of corporate AI (29%) have also been noted, showing how AI is not only used to strengthen crime, but it also serves as useful vulnerability for many criminals.
Does AI cause more cybercrime?
“While adoption is accelerating, the attacks taking advantage of the Genai for phishing, Deepfakes and social engineering has become a dominant current, while other threats – such as attacks against the Genai application infrastructure and manipulations based on bases – emerge and gain ground,” explained Gartner Akif Khan.
The report details how much the development of AI has experienced deep buttocks from an instant complex, the audio depths are now generated in real time to make them very convincing and personalized.
Although the deepfake depths specific to the person remain very expensive, only time is between limited use and generalized use.
In the field, cybersecurity companies and analysts see Faked Deep-Kake as a vector of initial attack, before attackers returned to simpler and cheaper methods. For example, crooks sometimes simulate a CEO during a call before moving on to social engineering methods in text only.
With regard to the exploitation of companies’ AI systems, attackers are frequently observed deception systems to reveal sensitive information or abuse integrations to execute code by giving malware.
For the future, companies of all sizes – not only multinational companies – are invited to improve their game, the Zero -Cust approach emerging as a firm favorite to block unjustified activity.
