Wiz CEO says company was targeted with deepfake attack that used his voice
Reading Time: < 1 minutesEven cybersecurity companies aren’t safe from deepfake attacks.
‘Dozens of my employees got a voice message from me,’ he explained. ‘The attack tried to get their credentials.’
The team caught on that something wasn’t right, however, because the hacker had tracked down audio of the CEO’s voice from a conference to create the deepfake.
Because he has public speaking anxiety, Rappaport’s voice from the event didn’t sound like the day-to-day voice that his employees were familiar with.
‘That’s how they were able to say, ‘That doesn’t sound like Assaf.”
The company could trace where the voice came from but wasn’t able to determine who was behind the attack.
‘That’s why cyberattacks are so beneficial [for the attackers] … the risk of getting caught is very low,’ Rappaport noted.
During the interview, the co-founder also spoke extensively about why Wiz turned down the Google deal, saying they believed the potential in the cloud security market was a $100 billion opportunity.
