Deepfake-Proofing Your Workforce

The document “Deepfake-Proofing Your Workforce: A Next-Gen Approach to Defending Against AI Phishing Attacks & Deepfakes” by Adaptive Security warns that generative AI has transformed cybercrime, producing hyper-realistic deepfakes and AI-driven phishing that traditional awareness training can’t handle. It argues that one-size-fits-all, once-a-year training leaves organizations dangerously exposed and urges adoption of adaptive, personalized, and continuously updated learning systems. The guide outlines a modern framework—combining microlearning, AI-powered simulations, automated compliance, and real-time analytics—to build employees into proactive defenders against deepfake, smishing, and social-engineering threats. Its central message is that continuous, data-driven education is the only effective safeguard in an era where AI can mimic any face, voice, or message with alarming realism.
