He said, “You don’t start at a technology, and that’s the misunderstanding of this. Zero trust creator John Kindervag’s advice during an interview with VentureBeat earlier this year sums up how any business can get started with zero trust. He told the audience at his keynote at Fal.Con 2022 that “80% of the attacks, or the compromises that we see, use some form of identity and credential theft.” By continuously verifying the identity of users and devices, organizations can reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect against potential threats,” said CrowdStrike’s George Kurtz. “Identity-first security is critical for zero trust because it enables organizations to implement strong and effective access controls based on their users’ needs. (However, they should be aware that cybersecurity vendors tend to overstate their zero-trust capabilities.) CISOs must assume a breach has already happened and go all-in on a zero-trust framework. Zero trust is table stakes for getting IAM right, and identity is core to zero trust.

Deepfake-based identity attacks are so pervasive that the Department of Homeland Security published an in-depth guide on how to avoid them.


A study commissioned by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, National Cyber Security Centre with WithSecure, predicts the future of AI-enabled cyberattacks, with some of the results summarized in the following chart: Attackers are sharpening their tradecraft using generative AI to launch lucrative social engineering and credential theft attacks. Attackers are betting identity security stays weak, continuing to offer an easy-to-defeat front door to any enterprise. Sentonas, Chaudhry and the CEOs of many other leading cybersecurity companies agree that stolen identities and privileged access credentials are the most at-risk threat vector that they are helping their customers battle. Preying on people’s trust is how attackers plan on making generative AI pay today. In a recent interview, he observed that “this was an example of where they actually simulated my voice, my sound … More and more impersonation of sound is happening, but you will see more and more impersonation of looks and feels.” Deepfakes have become so commonplace that the Department of Homeland Security has issued a guide, Increasing Threats of Deepfake Identities. Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry told the audience at Zenith Live 2023 about one recent incident, in which an attacker used a deepfake of Chaudhry’s voice to extort funds from the company’s India-based operations. Some deepfake attacks are targeting CEOs and corporate leaders. And if you can solve that, you can solve a big part of the cyber problem that an organization has.” Deepfakes and pretexting today automated, resilient attacks tomorrow The reason why we connected the endpoint with identity and the data that the user is accessing is because it’s a critical problem. I mean, the hacking session that George and I did at RSA was to show some of the challenges with identity and the complexity. “It’s one of the biggest challenges that people want to grapple with today.
