Proofpoint, July 2,2025
In June 2025 Gartner published 'Overcome AI-Powered Attacks by Leveling Up Your Email Security Platform' by Nikul Patel, Deepak Mishra and Max Taggett.
The paper emphasizes the continued importance of protecting organizations from phishing: 'Phishing remains a significant attack vector, as demonstrated by its consistent year-over-year trend in the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations 'report'.'
It also contains research that highlights the adoption of AI by attackers. Gartner found that ''attackers' are using large language models (LLMs) to cut attack costs by over 95%, increasing the ROI of phishing and leading to more sophisticated, varied and frequent attacks.'
