IRONSCALES, the AI-powered email security leader protecting 15,000 global customers from advanced phishing attacks, today released a new industry report, Deepfakes: Assessing Organizational Readiness in the Face of This Emerging Cyber Threat. Based on the survey responses of over 200 IT professionals, the report points to a number of leading indicators related to the looming cybersecurity threat posed by deepfake technologies. Among the most compelling findings from the report is the fact that, despite near-ubiquitous concern surrounding the security implications of deepfakes (94%), less than half (42%) of respondents felt very confident about their organization’s ability to defend against deepfake-enabled attacks.
