Kaspersky launched a new AI-focused module in its Automated Security Awareness Platform (ASAP), which helps professionals develop skills to defend against AI-driven cyberattacks.
This addresses the need to understand AI-related threats amid the increasing number of AI-driven attacks. Last February, a finance worker at a multinational firm was tricked into paying USD 25 million to fraudsters using deepfake technology. The scammers posed as the company’s CFO in a video conference call, fooling the worker into thinking he was meeting with other staff members who were actually deepfake recreations.
Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform (ASAP) is structured into two levels, each consisting of seven detailed lessons:
- Level 1 focuses on understanding how fraudsters utilize AI for malicious purposes and ways to combat these tactics. Topics include the creation of fake videos (such as identity theft in online conferences), counterfeit photographs, voice impersonation, and fraudulent services offered through AI.
- Level 2 delves into the inherent risks associated with AI in professional settings. This includes the dangers of inputting confidential data, decision-making pitfalls, copyright violations, AI jailbreaks, the ideological biases of neural networks, parameter manipulation, and the hacking of AI systems.
Kaspersky ASAP is designed for users without prior knowledge of AI, ensuring accessibility while providing comprehensive training for robust cybersecurity practices.
“Fostering vigilance and caution they can combat even the new emerging threats in the digital environment, while also strengthening their organization’s defensive perimeter,” commented Tatyana Shumaylova, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Kaspersky Security Awareness.
