“Proofpoint Power Series: The Evolving Threat Landscape” just concluded at #ProofpointProtect Chicago. Here are some hot takes and insights shared during the session. ⤵️

🔥 When it comes to the evolving threat landscape, it's the "how" that's changing more than the "who."

🔥 Attribution can help because it can tell you the rest of the playbook that may be used against you.

🔥 GenAI hasn't impacted the quality of phishing lures as much as one might think, because the way to detect and remediate the threat still involves processing language. However, it has allowed threat actors to scale.

🔥 Threat actors are being forced to get more creative and adapt as security professionals improve how they educate their users and change human behavior.

🔥 There could be an increase in consumer-focused threats as organizations bolster their human-centric security strategies and awareness programs.

🔥 The hacktivist space is becoming more prominent.

🔥 With every new and emerging technology, there is a new point of data collection (e.g. email, social media, chatbots). The more defenders of this data can collaborate, the more visibility we will have across the attack chain.
