AI Voice Cloning: The New Front of Social Engineering

A few seconds of audio. That's all it takes to clone someone's voice.

AI voice cloning technology has advanced rapidly, and attackers are weaponizing it. With samples pulled from earnings calls, conference talks, social media videos, or even voicemail greetings, bad actors can generate convincing replicas of executives, colleagues, or family members.

The attack scenarios are already real: a CFO receives a call from what sounds exactly like the CEO requesting an urgent wire transfer. An employee gets a voicemail from "IT" asking them to reset credentials. A finance team member hears their manager's voice authorizing a vendor payment change.

These aren't hypotheticals. Organizations are losing millions to voice-based social engineering, and traditional security has no answer—because there's no malware to detect, no malicious link to block. Just a human being trusting a familiar voice.
