A recent EY survey data of 250 corporate leaders and directors reveals that only 12% of organizations feel most prepared to detect a targeted physical attack. Bridging this gap requires an integrated approach across every step – detection, deterrence, prevention, preparation, response, mitigation, investigation and recovery — long before a situation escalates.
Threats are changing faster than organizations
One of the most common misconceptions about AI-driven threats is that they represent entirely new forms of risk. In reality, the underlying motives are familiar: fraudsters still want to steal money, and adversaries still seek sensitive information. What has changed is the execution.
Throughout my career in forensic accounting and law enforcement, I watched criminal schemes evolve from basic fraud to complex international operations. The execution today is incredibly sophisticated, particularly around remote hiring. Transnational threat groups now deploy deepfakes and stolen identities to bypass virtual HR hiring loops.
