The next wave of AI adoption is here. Open-source models like #DeepSeek are making GenAI more accessible, but at what cost? When security tools integrate these models, they also inherit their risks—risks that 89% of IT and #CybersecurityLeaders say they’re concerned about. Organizations need to prioritize informed risk assessment whenever they adopt new AI models. Security teams must ask themselves: have we evaluated the #AI security of these models - and do we have the expertise to make an informed assessment? Without this, IT leaders open up their data to hidden vulnerabilities. Learn more in Chester Wisniewski's article: https://bit.ly/3WFPDEB

AI is becoming a critical tool in #cybersecurity, helping organizations tackle challenges faster and more efficiently. However, different organizations have different priorities when it comes to generative AI. “As with many things in life, the mantra should be ‘trust but verify,’” says Chester Wisniewski, Sophos’ Global Field CTO. “We haven’t taught machines to think; we’ve just given them the context to process large amounts of data faster.” Organizations should pair #AI tools with human oversight and clear accountability to maximize benefits while managing risks.

Imagine a threat actor "email bombing" your employee with 3,000 emails in 45 minutes, then calling them from Microsoft Teams from an account named “Help Desk Manager", posing as tech support. Our Sophos MDR team have reported a rise in these social engineering tactics to deploy #ransomware. Once the threat actors have the employee on the Teams call, they are instructing the employee to allow a remote screen control session through Teams, where the attacker is able to execute malware, directly onto the users device. Sophos MDR also observed the threat actors then accessing a network diagram for one targeted organization drawn in Visio, most likely to plan further lateral movement and impact phases of the attack. Organizations should restrict external Teams calls to trusted partners and limit remote access tools like Quick Assist to authorized IT staff. Raise employee awareness of these tactics, which often fall outside standard anti-phishing training, to strengthen your defense. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/d5ix9jB2

Attackers don’t need to bring their own tools — they exist on your system already. Artifacts and #LOLbins are tools that are pre-installed on your systems and, when exposed, allow for cyberattacks to take place.
