AI is making phishing smarter… are we becoming weaker?
On Season 2 Episode 16 of the Digital Trust podcast, host Christian Redshaw and co-host Zach(ary) Eikenberry sit down once again with Gavin Roberts, CTO of Topsec Cloud Solutions, to continue the conversation on the evolving realities of email security.
Drawing from decades of experience in fraud detection and cybersecurity, Roberts offers a grounded perspective on the industry’s growing reliance on AI, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong technical foundations alongside emerging tools.
The discussion highlights how email continues to dominate as the primary attack vector, why improved phishing quality hasn’t necessarily translated to better detection outcomes, and how overdependence on automation can introduce new risks within security teams. Roberts also reinforces the need for layered security approaches, ensuring organizations aren’t relying solely on default protections.
If your organization is leaning heavily on AI without reinforcing fundamentals, this is a conversation worth tuning into.
