AI-powered

A new report from Cork Protection looks at the security challenges facing small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), backed up by comment from a range of industry leaders. Challenges include an asymmetric threat landscape, defined by the misuse of artificial intelligence and relentless exploitation of human vulnerabilities.

Among the findings are that AI-powered adversaries are launching automated, sophisticated campaigns at unprecedented scale. Also the financial fallout of a breach now extends far beyond ransom, often resulting in business-ending costs.

McAfee has announced a new partnership with Yahoo News, integrating its AI-powered deepfake image detection technology into the platform’s content quality system. This collaboration is designed to help Yahoo News quickly identify images that may have been created or modified using AI, with the goal of maintaining credibility and ensuring that content meets editorial standards.

McAfee’s deepfake image detection tool will flag AI-generated images, which are then reviewed by the Yahoo News editorial standards team. The integration provides a scalable and efficient method to detect manipulated content, offering additional resources to ensure that Yahoo News continues to deliver trusted journalism. This detection is currently being applied to content in the U.S. only.
