About this listen
In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, host G Mark Hardy speaks with Brian Long, CEO and co-founder of Adaptive Security, about how AI is accelerating and scaling social engineering through deepfakes, OSINT-driven personalization, and real-time conversational attacks. Brian says people remain the biggest opportunity in cyber defense, citing rapid growth in deepfake-enabled incidents and examples including a widely reported $25M wire fraud involving a fake Zoom meeting of “peers,” plus a CFO/controller case where a deepfaked CEO pushed secrecy and urgency. They argue detection alone is unreliable due to an arms race and attackers shifting to unverified channels (phone, Teams/Slack, Signal). Key mitigations include workforce awareness, stronger organizational controls (especially for hiring and payments), verification habits, and personalized training paired with AI-powered simulations and reporting/automated email handling.
