THOUGHTFUL HUMAN RISK MANAGEMENT

Secure your people, process, and technology against today's most pressing threats

THE PROBLEM

MALICIOUS INFLUENCE OPERATIONS

01 / INTELLIGENT

Large language models allow threat actors to create and deliver tens of thousands of individualized messages. Realistic voice generation allows convincing impersonations of co-workers and executives.

02 / DESTRUCTIVE

Malicious influence operations cost billions of dollars per year, and in some cases millions of dollars per incident.

03 / PERVASIVE

Attackers don't limit themselves to email phishing attacks; they exploit social media, and create deceptive groups to foster large-scale acceptance of their deceptions.
