Why Business Leaders Are Sleepwalking Into AI-Powered Cyber Threats
⚠️ Business Leaders Are Underestimating AI Cyber Threats
📉 A major disconnect is forming between executives and their security teams.
🤖 AI is already fueling hyper-realistic phishing, impersonation, and fraud.
🧠 CISOs know it – but many business pros don’t fully grasp how far these risks have evolved.
📩 Today’s attacks use executive tone, deepfake voice, and real company workflows to manipulate employees.
🔍 What’s worse? Traditional training and outdated assumptions still run awareness programs.
🚨 If leadership doesn’t experience how real AI-powered scams feel, they won’t prioritize prevention.
