Keepnet's Research Unveiled that 70% of Organizations Share Sensitive Data on Vishing Calls
The use of AI to orchestrate these attacks has led to an increase in both their frequency and sophistication.
Additionally, legal and compliance challenges often block the implementation of vishing simulation tests, complicating efforts to combat this attack.
The Vishing Response Report is the first of its kind to demonstrate the feasibility of complying with FCC, GDPR, CCPA, and similar legal requirements while conducting voice phishing (vishing) tests. The Vishing Response Report analyzed data from over 3,000 calls made from Keepnet's Vishing Simulation platform and found that:
Oliver Rochford, Independent Industry Analyst, commented: "It is encouraging to discover that over half of the participants in the study recognized and resisted vishing attempts." demonstrating the effectiveness of anti-vishing training. But with 6.5% of employees still vulnerable to such scams, it is obvious that our work is never truly complete. Even a single lapse can be the catalyst for a significant breach, so ongoing vigilance is essential, especially given the impending rise in sophisticated vishing attacks powered by AI video tools.
Vishing Research Report provides a strategic blueprint for CISOs, enabling them to tailor strategies that effectively reduce human risk from voice phishing attacks while providing actionable insights. In addition, we provide a compliance roadmap for risk and compliance teams to guide them in conducting legal and secure vishing simulations. The report also helps executive and leadership teams facilitate communication, secure their support for budgeting, legal, and HR planning, streamline the implementation process, and build a robust cybersecurity culture.
"As vishing continues to pose a risk amplified by AI technology, dramatically affecting organizations of all sizes. Keepnet's Research Report has revealed ongoing, applicable, and immediate solutions for security and risk managers to minimize vishing risks, reduce potential breaches, and save on organizational costs."- Ozan Ucar, CEO, Keepnet.
