With Cybersecurity Awareness Month kicking off tomorrow, I have a comment from Chris Mierzwa, Sr. Director, Global Resilience Programs at Commvault.
For background, Chris Mierzwa is a seasoned technology executive with over 30 years of experience in the IT solutions space. As a former CTO and SVP at Sirus Computer Solutions (now CDW), he led strategic initiatives across infrastructure, cloud, and partner ecosystems, overseeing billion-dollar revenue targets and complex M&A Integrations.
“As we approach another Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it serves as a stark reminder that enterprises must get ‘back to basics’ and focus on creating stronger security foundations. Among the many different threat vectors, I implore business leaders to pay close attention to social engineering – the increasingly dangerous Achilles’ heel of every organization.
Enterprises are underestimating threat actors’ ability to understand the more formidable adult psyche. With the help of AI, cybercriminals can now alter their voices, accents, and launch social engineering attacks in multiple languages with real-time translation, leaving employees with no cues to suspect malicious intent. On top of that, threat actors recognize that employees only receive minimal cybersecurity training, meaning they don’t have the knowledge or skillset to recognize the newest and most sophisticated threats.”
