AI in Action Podcast: Fighting Cyber Threats with AI

Kyle Ryan, Senior Manager of Engineering and AI at Dune Security, joined the AI in Action Podcast to explore how generative AI is reshaping the threat landscape. He shared how adversaries now use AI to create hyper-personalized phishing emails, clone voices with deepfake technology, and deploy automated agents on encrypted apps like WhatsApp to manipulate users and extract sensitive data. These developments push attacks far beyond the reach of traditional filters and controls, making user-layer defenses more critical than ever.

Kyle shows how Dune Security replicates these advanced tactics through red team simulations that mirror real-world adversaries. By exposing employees to the same AI-powered social engineering techniques used by sophisticated threat groups, Dune reduces user risk, strengthens resilience, and builds defenses that stop attacks exploiting trust and routine behavior.
