Email Security

In today’s podcast, we’re gonna be talking about AI-based phishing attacks. Everyone knows about the popularity and power of generative AI models. With that popularity, you knew it wouldn’t be long before bad actors sought to bypass ethical guardrails and turn these tools to dark uses. Enter FraudGPT and WormGPT, new subscription-based AI tools that criminals are using to gain the upper hand.

The result is phishing attacks created with such tools can look very real and are a big threat to your customers. As such, MSPs need to advocate for email security awareness plans and threat simulation tools to educate users and safeguard customers.
