Deepfake attacks are exploding, and your company is probably not ready. In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, we dive into how cybercriminals are using AI to clone voices and create fake videos to authorize fraudulent wire transfers and reset credentials. With nearly 50% of businesses already experiencing deepfake attacks, this isn't a future problem – it's happening right now. We break down the two main attack vectors: authorization fraud (where fake CEOs trick employees into wiring money) and credential theft (where attackers reset passwords and MFA tokens). More importantly, we give you actionable defense strategies: multi-channel verification protocols, callback procedures for sensitive transactions, employee training programs, and break-glass scenarios. You'll learn what not to rely on (spoiler: caller ID is worthless) and why policy and procedure matter more than technology alone. This is a must-listen for anyone responsible for security or financial controls.
