Deepfakes Rank as the Second Most Common Cybersecurity Incident for US Businesses

ISMS.online’s press release shares survey findings indicating 35% of US businesses experienced a deepfake-related security incident in the past year (second only to malware), with 37% citing third‑party/vendor risk as their top challenge and 43% reporting partner data as the most compromised; while 39% plan up to 25% increased investment in supply chain security, 73% believe AI/ML will improve cybersecurity but only 26% have adopted such initiatives and 25% struggle to manage emerging tech—underscoring concerns over deepfakes in BEC schemes and the need for stronger security foundations and standards.
