People vs. Artificial Intelligence: Who Will Win? 🤖 vs. 🧠 A week ago, we published a post featuring a greeting from Daniela Gaipl, created using AI voice simulation. Most commentators believed it was a real recording of her voice. AI is fascinating and opens endless opportunities for companies such as Allianz in process automation but also security awareness. However, it also has a darker side. AI is revolutionizing the way we live and work, and threat actors are taking full advantage of the GenAI capabilities. 💡   IT security relies heavily on both technology and the users of digital systems. Creating a strong cybersecurity culture, regularly educating employees about threats, and integrating them as a "human firewall" are crucial for a company's overall IT security. We must therefore educate ourselves and build a "human firewall." 🛡️  📌A human firewall refers to the collective effort of employees to detect and prevent cyber threats through awareness and vigilance. Together with our cybersecurity expert Daniela Gaipl, we have identified 5 AI-driven cybersecurity threats and what to watch out for, so you don’t fall victim to them. The threats we cover:  🔹 AI-Generated Phishing Emails  🔹 Deepfake Video Scams  🔹 Vishing: AI Voice Simulation  🔹 Quishing: QR Code Phishing  🔹 AI-Driven Spear Phishing Please repost and share this knowledge with others! 🔄 #thinkb4uclick, #cybersecurityawarenessmonth #SecurityAwareness  #AllianzTechnology 

Phishing, Quishing, Deepfakes... 🤖 AI-powered tools, AI assistance, robots automating phone calls... these terms are already a part of our daily life. Can we be sure that we are really talking to a person or just a voice simulation? In light of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we want to keep you informed about how AI can be used to enhance social engineering techniques. We have invited Daniela Gaipl, a cybersecurity expert and a Chapter Lead for Product Owners within the Information Security area at Allianz Technology, to share her expertise on the recent advances in technology used to scam people and what you can do to protect yourself! 🛡️ Stay tuned for our upcoming posts where Daniela will guide you through these techniques and provide actionable tips to safeguard your digital life.   Let us know in the comments if you believe this audio was real or AI-generated! 💬 #thinkb4uclick #cybersecurityawarenessmonth #SecurityAwareness  #AllianzTechnology

This October, we honor the rich #history, remarkable achievements, and invaluable contributions of the Black community in the UK. #Black History Month is a time to reflect, learn, and celebrate the stories and legacies that have shaped our society. With this year’s theme “Reclaiming Narratives”, the Allianz #GRACE Network (Global Race and Cultural Ethnicity Network), shines a spotlight on the stories and experiences of our prominent Black #leaders within Allianz. This afternoon, I had the pleasure, alongside my co-sponsor Gretchen Cepek and our special guest and moderator Claire-Marie Coste-Lepoutre, to host another inspiring edition of the GRACE panel discussion. This panel discussion reminded us that Black History Month is not just about remembrance; it’s about understanding, celebrating #diversity, and committing to creating an inclusive future. Our esteemed panelists offered unique #perspectives on how to reclaim and celebrate the narratives of Black people globally. They shared their personal and professional experiences, discussed challenges, emphasized the importance of sponsorships and mentorships, and provided best practices for upward mobility. It was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the importance of representation in leadership and celebrate diverse narratives. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Hélène Baetzner, Dwayne Maddox MBA, IICDP, MSLOC, Dr. Funké A., Thusang Mahlangu, and Thamsanqa Ndebele for being on the panel and sharing their stories and experiences with such openness. It was indeed a learning opportunity for all of us, and I am grateful for the chance to learn from your insights. A special thank you to Redeat Gashu, Shenjala Sutharsanan சஞ்சலா சுதர்சனன், and Shanticka Buchanan for creating this enriching atmosphere and enabling our Allianz Group to participate in such a meaningful discussion. #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityandInclusion #AllianzGRACE
