Generative AI Risks: What Your People Should Know 

The following is from the proofpoint blog post:

“By now, you probably know that generative AI (GenAI) is a double-edged sword—it introduces both opportunities and risks. On the one hand, GenAI improves productivity, especially when it comes to content creation, troubleshooting, research and analysis. On the other hand, it creates various security risks that people have yet to wrap their heads around. 

In this blog post, we’re going to explore the most common risks associated with generative AI so you can educate your users accordingly.”

The blog details the following issues and provides “What your people should know” for each issue.

  • GenAI is used to create convincing lures
  • GenAI can be a source of data leaks
  • GenAI hallucinations mean outputs are not always trustworthy
  • GenAI makes it easy to create deepfakes

A cybersecurity  webinar series is also offered by proofpoint.
