Phishing emails have become more convincing, and fraud has increased, making cyberattackers seem legitimate\u2014as if they were Microsoft support or even the fraud detection services from your bank.<sup>1<\/sup> And threat actors are taking advantage of the rise of AI, using it to enhance and fine-tune their strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add to the complexity, dedicated cybersecurity teams are currently resource constrained, especially compared to their cyberattackers.

Small changes in our technology habits can be easy, like using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/business\/identity-access\/microsoft-entra-mfa-multi-factor-authentication?rtc=1\">multifactor authentication<\/a> or keeping your devices and software up to date. All the bad news about the latest data breaches can leave us feeling powerless, but adopting simple, repeatable behaviors goes a long way to protecting our families and businesses.

These areas of focus are <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGaisafety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI Safety<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGcybersecurity101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cybersecurity 101<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGdatadevices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devices<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGfraud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fraud<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGphishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phishing<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/IGpasswords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passwords<\/a>. For example, the AI Safety infographic delivers new guidance that focuses on the safe use of AI tools within your organization, including making sure you haven\u2019t become overconfident in AI-generated content and search results and that you\u2019re using the AI tools provisioned by your IT organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 btn-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/aka.ms\/becybersmartkit\">Empower your security teams with the Be Cybersmart Kit<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Be Cybersmart Kit is a great starting point, and it\u2019s just one of the many resources Microsoft has put together on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/business\/cybersecurity-awareness\">Cybersecurity Awareness site<\/a>. Those seeking more in-depth resources can access expert-level learning paths, certifications, and technical documentation to continue their cybersecurity education.

The goal of all these programs is to help foster a security-first culture and continuous learning for students and professionals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote blockquote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;CISA is excited to lead the federal government\u2019s efforts to reduce online risk during this 21st Cybersecurity Awareness month and every month.

These threats are often highly targeted and present fewer of the tell-tale signs of their traditionally generated counterparts. In the FBI\u2019s 2023 Internet Crime Report, the agency states that its Internet Crime Complaint Center fielded more than 800,000 cyber incident complaints. The FBI estimates the total losses associated with these incidents to be greater than USD10 billion.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker-container\">\n\t<div class=\" wp-block-msxcm-kicker-block wp-block-msxcm-kicker--align-left\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Left\">\n\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__title small text-neutral-400 text-uppercase\">\n\t\t\tWhat is phishing?\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__cta btn btn-link p-0 text-decoration-none\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/business\/security-101\/what-is-phishing\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span>Learn about the different types<\/span> <span class=\"glyph-append glyph-append-xsmall wp-block-msxcm-kicker__glyph glyph-append-go\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand phishing-related risk factors in the era of AI, Microsoft has collaborated with Fortra to put together the Phishing Benchmark Global Report. The report found that 10.4% of phishing simulation participants clicked the email phishing link they were sent\u2014a 3.4% increase over the previous year.<sup>3<\/sup> Even more worrying, 60% of users who clicked on the email link also ultimately submitted their password to the phishing website.<sup>3<\/sup> These attacks target tens of millions of users annually, and with AI-enhanced features they are more and more likely to evade traditional security layers like firewalls and email security measures. AI can also aid cyberattackers in setting up their phishing sites in locations that internet browsers and security providers are less capable of detecting as high-risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the era of AI, we are all cyberdefenders. Despite this, 52% of employees still say their job has nothing to do with cybersecurity.<sup>3<\/sup> This couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. Employees are the first and last line of defense\u2014and Microsoft recognized the importance of this when we created the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-cloud\/resources\/secure-future-initiative\">Secure Future Initiative<\/a>. Our Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella has led the charge himself as Microsoft puts \u201csecurity above all else, before all other features and investments.\u201d This is why educating everyone on staying cybersafe is so important right now. Whether you point your employees to some of the resources linked in this article, highlight your own in-house resources, or bring in outside experts, it\u2019s time to act now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all have a role to play as cyberdefenders both at work and home. Identity and device protection can help protect individuals and their families from malicious cyberthreats\u2014and Microsoft is making it easier than ever to stay safer on unsecure Wi-Fi with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/security-compliance-and-identity\/keep-your-online-activity-safer-on-public-wi-fi-with-microsoft\/ba-p\/4251376\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expansion of privacy protection<\/a>. Consumers can get the added protection of a VPN on their phones and computers when on-the-go in places like coffee shops or airports. And now, device notifications alert users to unsafe Wi-Fi connections guiding them to turn on VPN for a safer connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For informed individuals looking to further broaden their understanding of the landscape, Microsoft invites you to join the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/OctoberDigitalSignatureEvent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Build a Security-First Culture in the Era of AI<\/a> webinar on October 30, 2024.
