Every financial institution employee is a critical part of the institution’s cybersecurity posture. We provide our partner institutions a suite of cybersecurity controls, and for those controls to be effective it requires each employee to be aware and cautions of the actions they take each and every day. ##### Mind Your Inputs Don’t share confidential information with artificial intelligence (AI) engines, on social media, or any other publicly available medium. ##### Be Privacy Aware AI models gather data from public websites, including social media sites. Social media sites also use the information you input for their business purposes and in many cases claim ownership of the data you give them. ##### How Hackers Use AI Cybercriminals are using AI and social media sites. This includes impersonated profiles, phone calls, modified images and altered videos, all of which are often referred to as ‘deepfakes’. ##### AI is a Tool While AI can assist with tasks, it’s important to not rely solely on AI-generated or social media content.
