Finally, corporate training that you can actually enjoy has arrived.
Cybersecurity AI company Adaptive Security has partnered with famous comedian Conan O’Brien to create a 15-part educational video series. These training videos help Adaptive’s clients and their employees address threats such as phishing and deepfakes.
Considering that corporate training can often be a complete sleepover, having someone really interesting and smart present this important information seems like a smart, if expensive, move. A clip currently promoting the partnership on Adaptive’s website begins with a joke about O’Brien being in the business just for the money.
More broadly, it’s great to see companies investing in this kind of education to ensure people are following best practices when it comes to online safety. The FTC said social media scams cost Americans at least $2.1 billion last year. Companies with the potential to access even larger bank accounts, not to mention sensitive information, become even more attractive targets. And AI tools can make shortcomings very convincing and actionable.
Fortunately, there are many common sense rules you can follow to keep troublemakers at bay. I’m not lucky enough to have Conan narrate it for me, but please put the Monorail episodes in order. simpsons You’ll get much the same experience if you play it in the background while reading Engadget’s top cybersecurity tips.
