Defending Against Human-Targeted Attacks Requires More Than Technology
Human-targeted cyberattacks are increasingly successful because they exploit everyday business behaviors rather than solely relying on technical vulnerabilities. Attackers impersonate executives or hijack existing email threads to trick employees into revealing sensitive information or approving fraudulent transactions. While AI security tools enhance system visibility, they cannot predict human reactions to convincing social engineering tactics. Therefore, true cyber resilience requires a combination of technical controls, continuous training tailored to specific roles, and a strong security culture. AI
