Requirements: .PDF reader, 12.4 MB
Overview: This book explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on social engineering and testing, offering a timely and necessary guide for navigating one of the most pressing challenges in modern cybersecurity. AI is not only revolutionizing how attackers exploit vulnerabilities but also how defenders test and strengthen their systems. With over 80% of data breaches attributed to human error or social engineering, and phishing responsible for 36% of successful cyberattacks, the stakes for organizations are higher than ever. The rise of AI tools capable of automating these attacks has introduced new complexities, making it critical for organizations to adopt advanced strategies to test their resilience. The book’s core mission is to equip cybersecurity professionals with the tools, knowledge, and frameworks to counter these AI-driven threats ethically and effectively. Readers will discover how to simulate sophisticated AI-enabled attacks, from deepfake impersonations to multi-channel phishing campaigns, all while respecting ethical boundaries. Practical applications are emphasized, such as leveraging open-source tools to mimic real-world attack scenarios and using AI to analyze human vulnerabilities. It also provides actionable guidance on building defenses and training programs that reflect the rapidly evolving threat landscape. The primary audience includes technical positions, penetration testers, and security professionals (mid- to senior-level cybersecurity professionals, including penetration testers, red teamers, and SOC analysts, with 3–10 years of experience in technical roles); the secondary audience is managers, technical managers, strategists, and influencers, legal (5+ years in management or leadership roles, overseeing technical teams or developing security strategies); and the tertiary audience is beginners (Entry- to mid-level technical professionals exploring advanced cybersecurity techniques or AI applications).
