Artificial intelligence and machine learning help Kaspersky Lab detect about half a million new cyberthreats daily. This was announced by Mikhail Gerber, Director of the Consumer Business Department of the company, at SPIEF-2025.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have burst into our lives rapidly and are changing it in all areas... In particular, today we detect up to half a million new malicious objects a day thanks to these technologies, while our specialists are busy with complex and sophisticated threats, which are also abundant.
Attackers, like cybersecurity professionals, are constantly improving their methods. According to the expert, the main problem is the lack of an automated tool that can detect deepfakes in real time.
Gerber reminded that it is important for mobile device users to be vigilant. You should not communicate with strangers if the purpose of the call is unknown. He also advised not to leave your profile open on social networks. This will help avoid creating deepfakes using your photos.
If you are asked to provide any confidential or personal data, an SMS code, or transfer money, always try to make sure that you are communicating with the person they claim to be.
It is better to call back the official number of the company that the person allegedly represents through other communication channels, for example, by landline.
Earlier, Mikhail Gerber warned that the number of malicious programs found on fake Android smartphones is growing in Russia. Attackers introduce viruses into devices during flashing and then sell them, including via the Internet.
