spent the last few hours investigating 'security awareness,' and what i found will make your blood boil. your company's security training uses AI-powered voice deepfakes to call you in an attack simulation. not kidding.
here are 7 things:
1. Brightside AI, selling these 'simulations,' charges €0.5 per month per seat for their basic package. That's €6 annually to unleash AI deepfakes on your staff. They monetize manufactured paranoia.
2. But it gets better. The 'Pro' plan, €1.3 a seat, uses *interactive* AI voice agents. They don't just play a script: they respond to objections, argue back, and adapt. Add OSINT spear-phishing that factors in your location, tenure, and language. They *know* you, and their AI uses it against you.
3. Here’s the wild part. While Brightside AI perfects these digital con artists, AI Certs® sells certifications: for AI, to empower '1 billion people' to master it. See the pattern? They build the weapons, then sell you the armor.
4. Marcelo Giovanni Muñoz Rojas Ph.D gets certified in ai everyone™ spanish. Tuuli Eaton says AI ethics are included in every course. So they teach you 'ethics' about the very AI the ecosystem uses to trick you into clicking malicious links.
It’s not training.
It’s a living laboratory.
5. Netrio runs geo-redundant NOC/SOCs 24/7/365. Massive infrastructure protects you from what? The very sophisticated 'threats' developed and refined by companies like Brightside AI. They’ve created an arms race, and you pay for both sides.
6. It’s a perfect closed loop. The deepfake calls aren't just generic phishing; they’re becoming hyper-realistic and adaptive. An AI mentor guides *their* AI to be a better attacker. It’s all happening in your corporate network, for your 'benefit.'
7. And the final touch. AI Labs 365 offers AI-driven remote exam proctoring, plus real-time AI monitoring. So you're trained by AI, tested by AI, and monitored by AI. Every digital step is mediated by the tech that tries to trick you.
It’s not security.
It’s control.
This isn't only about your company's security. This is a whole new economic model: threats are manufactured, defenses are sold, and the consumer is stuck in the middle. This isn't even the worst one.
