Send us a text Ihab Shraim shares his expertise on domain security and why it represents the "missing chapter" in modern cybersecurity strategy. We explore how AI is accelerating cyber threats from years to weeks and why protecting your online presence is more critical than ever. • Domain security is often overlooked despite being critical to an organization's reputation and online presence • Over 93% of security professionals can't identify their company's domain registrar or DNS provider • Modern cyber criminals are sophisticated organizations who target "soft targets" rather than heavily defended perimeters • AI-powered tools like FraudGPT and WormGPT enable custom malware creation for as little as $200 on the dark web • Voice cloning and deepfake technologies are being used in increasingly convincing social engineering attacks • Zero Trust architecture and layered security approaches are essential for comprehensive protection • Blended attacks targeting multiple systems simultaneously represent the future of cyber warfare • Reputation management encompasses domain protection, brand abuse prevention, and counterfeit detection • Personal data protection requires vigilance about what you share online and implementing proper security at home • Companies must have actionable response plans, not just detection capabilities Connect with Ihab Shraim on LinkedIn or email him at ihab.shraim@cscglobal.com to learn more about domain security and protecting your online presence.
