ESET boosts its Anti-Phishing with detection of malicious QR codes and calendar invites.
Cybersecurity has always been an arms race between attackers and defenders, but the rise of AI tools has accelerated this battle like never before.
Take spearphishing as an example: Cybercriminals traditionally spent hours or even days gathering data to craft convincing, personalized emails that trick victims into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware. Today, AI reduces that process to mere minutes.
Attackers also use advanced concealment techniques, such as embedding malicious URLs in QR codes or disguising phishing attempts as calendar invites to boost success rates.
To counter these evolving threats, businesses need a prevention-first strategy and AI-powered protection capable of spotting phishing attempts that humans might miss.
