Live From #RSAC 📍 The Future of Human Risk Is Here — Defending Against Scattered Spider Type Attacks

Why It Matters

Rapid, realistic simulations of AI‑driven, multi‑channel attacks empower organizations to harden their human firewall, directly lowering breach risk and improving incident response.

Key Takeaways

• Scattered Spider attacks combine email, phone, SMS vectors.
• Deep‑fake and visual threats are rising across industries.
• Infosc IQ provides foundational security awareness training for employees.
• Right Hand delivers rapid, automated social‑engineering simulations to organizations.
• Faster replication helps organizations condition workforce against multi‑channel attacks.

Summary

At RSA, Kitron and Theo highlighted the emerging “human risk” landscape, focusing on Scattered Spider‑type attacks that blend email phishing, phone calls, SMS and deep‑fake visual lures.

They explained that adversaries are increasingly leveraging omni‑channel social engineering, using AI‑generated deep‑fakes to bypass traditional defenses. Infosc IQ serves as the foundational security‑awareness platform, while Right Hand provides the “spear‑tip” – rapid, automated simulations that mimic these complex attacks.

Theo emphasized, “We’re doing it faster than anybody else can do it,” underscoring the speed at which the combined solution can generate realistic attack scenarios for training. The demo showcased real‑time replication of multi‑modal phishing campaigns.

The capability to instantly reproduce Scattered Spider tactics means enterprises can continuously condition their workforce, close the human vulnerability gap, and reduce the likelihood of successful breaches in an era of AI‑enhanced deception.
