The Impact of Generative AI on Security Behavior and Culture Programs

Email is the #1 security threat vector for your business, artificial intelligence is making it worse.

According to Gartner®, “The rapid evolution of GenAI has provided threat actors with sophisticated tools to enhance and diversify their attack methodologies. This paradigm shift in cyberthreat landscapes necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and implications of GenAI in cybersecurity.”1 

At Cofense, we recognize the ever-changing nature of the cybersecurity landscape—and our solutions evolve right alongside it. That’s why every security awareness training simulation we create is driven by actionable intelligence, focusing on the threats that are being overlooked and pose the greatest danger today.

Read this exclusive report from Gartner to learn more about:

  • "Threat actors exploit generative AI (GenAI), enabling them to rapidly and continuously adapt their attack tactics."
  • "GenAI also makes it far easier for employees across the organization to undertake technology work. This is a double-edged sword — it can enhance operational outcomes but also introduce new vectors for realizing operational cybersecurity risks."
  • "Traditional (or legacy) cybersecurity skills training falls short in addressing modern GenAI risks."
