AI Won’t Save You: Why Social Engineering is Still Cybersecurity’s Biggest Nightmare
“Social engineering remains the biggest cybersecurity threat, not AI. While AI can automate and intensify these attacks, the solution lies in zero trust access and identity management, not in battling AI with AI. Remember, human error is the real enemy here.”
Hot Take:
AI might be the flashy new player on the cybersecurity field, but old-school social engineering is still the MVP—Most Vulnerable Player. It’s not the bots you need to worry about; it’s the humans. Turns out, Skynet won’t be our downfall, but Steve from accounting might be!
Key Points:
- Social engineering and identity-based attacks remain the biggest cybersecurity threats.
- AI can automate and lower the cost of launching these attacks.
- Zero-trust access and identity management are crucial defenses.
- Identity fragmentation creates multiple entry points for attackers.
- AI should be integrated into existing security frameworks, not treated as a separate silo.
