Social Links 🤝 HackerNoon Technology Press Release
Social Links recently partnered with HackerNoon to distribute a groundbreaking press release revealing a critical awareness gap in cybersecurity. The company’s study found that business professionals are half as concerned about AI-driven cyber threats as their technical peers—highlighting a major blind spot in organizational preparedness.
With responses from 237 professionals across industries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, the research exposed how AI-generated scams and deepfake attacks are reshaping the threat landscape.
“AI-powered threats are already here and evolving quickly,” said Ivan Shkvarun, CEO of Social Links. “Bridging the gap between those building defenses and those being targeted is vital for organizational resilience.”
The report emphasized that effective cybersecurity now demands more than technical controls—it requires human-centric security programs and AI literacy across every level of an organization.
