AI-powered phishing has transformed social engineering into a fast, scalable, and highly convincing threat. Attackers now use generative AI, automation, and deepfake technology to impersonate trusted individuals, personalize attacks using public data, and coordinate campaigns across email, SMS, voice, and multimedia. These techniques bypass legacy controls and exploit human trust—making phishing a multi-channel, human-centric risk rather than a simple email security problem.

Defending against this new reality requires more than traditional training or point-in-time controls. Effective protection depends on layered defenses that combine phishing-resistant authentication, behavioral detection, and realistic, role-based training. Security programs must account for executive impersonation, vishing, smishing, and deepfake scenarios, while enabling faster detection, clearer verification workflows, and measurable reductions in human risk.

Jericho Security helps organizations meet this challenge by aligning security awareness with how modern attacks actually work. Through AI-driven simulations, targeted training, and behavior-focused insights, Jericho enables teams to move beyond checkbox compliance and build real resilience. The result is a security culture that detects threats earlier, responds faster, and is prepared for the next generation of AI-enabled social engineering attacks.
