Following his appearance on the GAEA AI podcast, where he discussed what it really takes to investigate, protect, and defend in the age of AI, Gurpreet Thathy our Director of Cyber Security and Electronic Counter Measures at Valkyrie (GB) Limited has now contributed to Fraud Intelligence, offering insight into how artificial intelligence is accelerating the pace and precision of cyber espionage.
Here are three practical principles Gurpreet recommends to counter this evolving threat:
Know Your Normal
➡️AI exploits patterns and breaks them. Without a defined behavioural baseline across your systems, threats remain invisible until it’s too late.
Challenge What Feels Familiar
➡️Just because it sounds like the CEO doesn’t mean it is. Deepfake voice and message impersonation is no longer rare — it’s strategic.
Secure the Periphery
➡️The weakest links are often overlooked: personal devices, cloud apps, poor password habits. Attackers are counting on it.
AI won’t wait for you to catch up BUT with the right mindset and controls, you can stay ahead of the curve.
