🛡️ Bitdefender presents CYBERCRIME: From the Frontline—the podcast that takes you inside real-life cyberattacks.
🔊 In this episode, cyber experts and analysts dive into the mounting challenges defenders face in 2025. It’s a world where nation-state threats, AI weaponization, and global instability collide.
We'll look into:
↪ Geopolitical Chaos — Cyberattacks are growing in frequency and sophistication, driven by rising mistrust, fractured alliances, and data sovereignty disputes.
↪ Deepfakes & Voice Cloning — Attackers exploit AI to bypass human trust, targeting CFOs and CEOs in social engineering scams with startling realism.
↪Detection Fatigue — Alert overload and one-size-fits-all security models are overwhelming SOC teams as the attack surface continues to expand.
↪Tailored Defense — How AI-powered adaptive, behavior-based security and proactive attack surface management are critical to outmaneuver persistent threats.
🎙️ This week, Bitdefender Director of IoT Security Dan Berte hosts Forrester Principal Analyst Allie Mellen, Bitdefender Vice President of Threat Research Dragos Gavrilut, and Bitdefender Senior Director of Product Management Daniel Daraban.
