This episode is brought to you by Adaptive Security, the first security awareness platform built to stop AI-powered social engineering. Picture a "new hire" who interviews well… except they're synthetic: AI video, AI voice, AI backstory. Once they're in, they go after payroll, internal docs, and access. That's the new reality: the attack surface is trust itself. Adaptive fights back with realistic deepfake simulations and training that actually sticks. adaptivesecurity.com.

Adaptive runs deepfake and vishing simulations so employees practice this before it's real. adaptivesecurity.com.
