Using AI to coordinate these attacks has increased both their frequency and sophistication.
Additionally, legal and compliance challenges often prevent vishing simulation tests from being conducted, complicating efforts to combat this attack.
Vishing support report is the first product of its kind to demonstrate the feasibility of complying with FCC, GDPR, CCPA, and similar legal requirements while conducting voice phishing (vishing) testing. The Vishing Response Report analyzed data from over 3,000 of his calls made from Keepnet's Vishing Simulation platform and found:
- Manufacturing and engineering and entertainment and media were the two most vulnerable industries due to factors such as less focused cybersecurity training and resources.
- Customer support was the weakest department across all industries because the role involves a lot of communication with external parties. This made them more vulnerable to vishing attacks.
- The study found that 6.5% of users were fooled by cold calls, suggesting the need for increased security training. Furthermore, 40.3% did not answer these calls. This may reflect careful avoidance of phone calls. scam Alternatively, a problematic lack of availability may leave your organization vulnerable to undetected criminal activity.
- Companies with the lowest vishing rates typically use sophisticated simulation software.
Oliver RochfordIndependent Industry Analystcommented: “It is encouraging to find that more than half of the study participants recognized and resisted malicious attempts.” We have demonstrated the effectiveness of anti-vishing training. However, with his 6.5% of employees still susceptible to such fraud, it is clear that our work is not completely done. Even a single mistake can trigger a major breach, so continued vigilance is essential, especially given the impending rise in sophisticated vishing attacks leveraging AI video tools.
The Vishing Research Report provides CISOs with a strategic blueprint, allowing them to tailor strategies to effectively reduce human risk from voice phishing attacks while providing actionable insights. Additionally, we provide a compliance roadmap to help risk and compliance teams conduct legal and safe vishing simulations. This report also helps executives and leadership teams facilitate communication, ensure support for budgeting, legal, and human resources planning, streamline the implementation process, and build a robust cybersecurity culture.
“Vishing continues to pose risks amplified by AI technology and has a dramatic impact on organizations of all sizes. Keepnet’s research report aims to minimize vishing risks and protect potential breaches. We've uncovered an ongoing, applicable, and immediate solution for security and risk managers to mitigate and save organizations costs. ”- Ozan UkarCEO of Keepnet.
