A cybersecurity company has launched a new tool designed to stop hackers from manipulating IT support staff into violating corporate security policies.
Humanix announced new capabilities for its platform aimed at identifying live violations of organization-defined procedures governing help desk workflows. The technology targets a growing vulnerability where attackers pressure service desk agents into bypassing identity verification steps during sensitive requests, such as credential resets.
Cybercriminals are increasingly focusing on the human elements of corporate networks. According to industry data, 76% of modern data breaches target humans rather than software vulnerabilities. Recent campaigns from cybercriminal groups have demonstrated how phone-based phishing, or "vishing," effectively exploits support personnel to gain access to enterprise networks.
Security procedures often break down when IT agents face high-stakes, artificial crises created by bad actors. Humanix aims to close this control gap by monitoring voice, chat, email and support ticket interactions.
Using conversational artificial intelligence, the platform analyzes interactions to identify impersonation attempts and manipulation tactics. The new update specifically alerts security teams when an agent is coerced into skipping mandatory multi-factor authentication steps before unauthorized access is granted.
The platform provides organizations with visibility into human and AI agent interactions, continuous detection coverage for procedural violations, and control over human-centered attack surfaces.
