DeepMind: Part 2: Social engineering, malware, and the future of cybersecurity in AI

Author: Google DeepMind - Bewertung: 14x - Views:108

In part two, Hannah and Four tackle the human element at the heart of cybersecurity: Who are the bad actors, and what motivates them? They dissect the evolving strategies designed to stop social engineering attacks - like passkeys and risk-based authentication - and confront the complex security and privacy challenges that may be introduced by autonomous agents.
