Cybersecurity Awareness Month in September 2025 spotlights AI's dual role: a powerful defender and a potent weapon for attackers. With deepfakes and AI agents boosting threat levels, understanding these risks is crucial.

AI Agents and Automated Attacks

AI agents are exploiting human trust through personalized phishing and malware generation, with budgets tightening forcing reliance on AI for both offense and defense.

Deepfakes and Social Engineering

Deepfakes enable sophisticated fraud, from voice cloning in BEC to video impersonations, eroding trust in digital communications. Detection tools using AI watermarking are emerging countermeasures.

Defensive AI Strategies

Leverage AI for anomaly detection and predictive analytics to counter these threats. Integrate with zero-trust frameworks for robust protection.

As AI evolves, so must our defenses. Vard & Wolfe can audit your AI security posture—get started.
