Jericho Just Won The Pentagon's First AI Contract
The Pentagon just made a groundbreaking move in cybersecurity, and it's not what you might expect.
In today's digital battlefield, the weakest link isn't technology—it's us.
Human error accounts for a staggering 95% of data breaches.
Jericho Security, a startup from New York, has secured a $1.8 million contract with the Department of Defense to tackle this very issue.
What are they doing?
They're using generative AI to simulate complex, multi-channel phishing attacks that go beyond traditional email scams. This innovative approach aims to train military personnel against sophisticated threats like deepfake impersonations and AI-generated malware.
The timing couldn't be more critical.
As cyber attacks on military targets become increasingly targeted and complex, traditional defense methods are falling short. Jericho's "predator and prey" model provides continuous, real-time data to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Is this the future of cybersecurity training?
