Josh Davies, Principal Market Strategist at Fortra, discusses in SC Media's Security Weekly podcast how cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting trust through phishing, social engineering, fraud, and credential theft. Drawing on original FIRE research, he highlights emerging tactics including calendar phishing, AI-enhanced phishing campaigns, relationship-based attacks, and heavily obfuscated campaigns designed to evade traditional defenses. The discussion emphasizes the value of threat intelligence sharing and provides organizations with insight into how evolving phishing and social engineering techniques are reshaping the threat landscape.
"I'm a big advocate of collective defense. This is about us facing a common enemy. It's not just your problem or my problem; it's all of our problem." — Josh Davies
