Avivit Yorkevich, CEO and co-founder of Validit.ai and a former senior officer in Israeli intelligence, brings a unique operational perspective to the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
In the article, she explains how AI-driven threats are shifting cybersecurity from protecting systems and data to safeguarding trust itself. Technologies such as deepfakes, synthetic identities, and advanced social engineering increasingly target human perception rather than technical infrastructure.
Yorkevich argues that modern security strategies must include credibility and reliability validation as a core defense layer. By combining AI with behavioral and authenticity analysis, organizations can better protect decision-making processes and maintain confidence in high-risk digital environments.
