About Adaptive Security
What it is
Adaptive Security runs realistic simulations of AI-powered social engineering — deepfake voice calls, SMS phishing, targeted spear-phishing email — against an organisation's own staff, then trains and scores them on how they responded. The premise is that awareness training built for generic phishing does not prepare anyone for an attack that sounds like their finance director.
Why it's different
The threat is real and recent: voice cloning has made convincing impersonation cheap, and the large losses now reported usually involve a call rather than only an email. Training against the current attack rather than a 2015 one is straightforwardly sensible, and simulated deepfake calls are something no incumbent awareness vendor was doing. The tension to be aware of is cultural. Deepfaking an executive's voice to test employees is effective and can badly damage trust if handled carelessly, and punitive scoring teaches people to hide mistakes rather than report them — which is the opposite of what a security team needs.
How people use it
It is bought after a near miss, or by finance and executive functions who are the actual targets of these attacks. The pattern that works is treating a failed simulation as a training moment rather than a disciplinary one, and pairing it with a process fix — a call-back verification rule for payment changes does more than any amount of awareness, because it removes the need for anyone to judge whether a voice is real.
