Brightside AI, a SaaS platform to help teams combat social-engineering cyberattacks that are enabled by mass adoption of genAI, is thrilled to announce the successful completion of a $1M deal with Social Links, a technology investor in OSINT infrastructure.
Social Links
Social Links is an OSINT platform that processes data from over 500 open sources to significantly accelerate data-centric tasks for companies involved in open data management.
As part of the collaboration, Brightside will have access to the Social Links platform next 5 years to train LLM models of its artificial intelligence-based human data search engine, making them more effective through the use of real-world examples.
Advent of ChatGPT
The advent of ChatGPT has provided cybercriminals worldwide with the means to enhance their phishing
Human error remains the root cause of approximately 80-90% of cyberattacks, and a staggering 96% of social engineering attacks are initiated through email channels.
The advent of ChatGPT has provided cybercriminals worldwide with the means to enhance their phishing endeavors across multiple languages, rendering them increasingly personalized and challenging for the untrained observer to detect.
Addressing human error in cybersecurity
“We are investing $1M in Brightside's infrastructure because it offers a powerful and innovative solution to combat the problem of human error in cybersecurity,” says Ivan Shkvarun, co-founder of Social Links. “Reducing human error is essential because no one can guarantee zero risk of cyberattacks, especially in a scenario where new AI phishing developments are on the rise and present a major threat to online security."
"That's why we're not only investing in Brightside's infrastructure but also supporting it with our data extraction solutions from more than 500 open sources. We understand the significance of harnessing technology to make a safer world.”

Phishing
The more data the attacker has on a victim, the better he can target and convert with his fraudulent message"
