Social Engineering Leveled Up. Has Your Security Program?

Social engineering attacks have evolved to include device code phishing and AI-generated lures that can bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) and evade detection. Security programs need to update their cyber resilience strategies to address these emerging tactics before attackers exploit organizational blind spots.

Why it matters: Security leaders and defenders need to reassess anti-phishing and user awareness controls today, as traditional MFA protections may not stop device code and AI-enhanced social engineering attacks from reaching employees.
