Dr Sarah Wolff, Managing Director at Telekom Security, on Cybersecurity
"No one sees more than we do," says Dr Sarah Wolff, Managing Director at Telekom Security, Germany's largest cybersecurity provider. She also highlights a disturbing trend: "We have already seen cases where company owners appear in team calls and instruct their accountant in Romania to transfer seven-figure sums immediately – but the 'owner' is actually an AI-generated persona. Hackers are using the same automation tools as everyone else, meaning even small and medium-sized enterprises are now fully automated targets."
