  • AI-driven and deepfake-enabled cyberattacks are anticipated to become increasingly prevalent in 2025 with sectors like healthcare and finance most prone targets, according to a recent report.

The article from Business Standard discusses a report by the cybersecurity firm Barracuda Networks, which predicts a significant rise in AI-driven deepfake cyberattacks by 2025. The report highlights that cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to create sophisticated deepfakes for various malicious activities, including impersonation, fraud, and misinformation. These attacks are becoming more convincing and harder to detect, posing a major threat to both individuals and organizations. The technology's ability to manipulate audio, video, and images with high fidelity makes it easier for attackers to bypass traditional security measures. The report also notes that the democratization of AI tools has lowered the barrier for entry, allowing even less technically adept individuals to launch such attacks. Barracuda Networks recommends enhancing cybersecurity measures, increasing awareness, and developing advanced detection technologies to combat this growing menace.
