Decoded: The Cybersecurity Podcast

AI, Social Engineering, and CAPTCHA Security

These sources collectively examine the rapidly evolving landscape of CAPTCHA technology and the escalating threat of AI-driven cyberattacks. The Wikipedia excerpt introduces CAPTCHA as a Turing test to differentiate humans from bots, noting its purpose, characteristics, and increasing circumvention by both machine learning and human labor.

Consequently, organizations are urged to enhance their defenses, with the Accenture report stressing the need for a "Reinvention-Ready Zone" security posture to combat AI-powered threats and underscoring that current security efforts are outpaced by AI adoption.
