Your competitors are already automating. Here's the data.
Retail and ecommerce teams using AI for customer service are resolving 40-60% more tickets without more staff, cutting cost-per-ticket by 30%+, and handling seasonal spikes 3x faster.
But here's what separates winners from everyone else: they started with the data, not the hype.
Gladly handles the predictable volume, FAQs, routing, returns, order status, while your team focuses on customers who need a human touch. The result? Better experiences. Lower costs. Real competitive advantage. Ready to see what's possible for your business?
Deepfake Videos Add Credibility to Social Engineering
Attackers use AI-generated videos of executives to request urgent actions. These fakes are convincing enough to bypass visual checks. Employees follow orders from a face they trust.
Voice Cloning Powers Real-Time Vishing Attacks
Synthetic voice tech allows attackers to impersonate CEOs or colleagues on live calls. Scams escalate when urgency meets familiar tone. Voice recognition alone is no longer reliable.
Fraudulent Audio Memos Trigger Financial Transfers
Finance teams receive fake audio messages authorizing urgent wire transfers. These messages mimic real vocal patterns and context. Traditional phishing defenses don’t cover audio deception.

Face and Voice Biometrics Are No Longer Secure
Biometric-based authentication is vulnerable to synthetic replication. Attackers use publicly available media to build accurate models. Identity verification systems must evolve quickly.
Detection Lags Behind Generation Capabilities
Tools to detect deepfakes are slower and less accessible than creation tools. By the time a fake is exposed, the damage is done. The balance favors the attacker — for now.
Employee Awareness Is Focused on Email, Not Media
Security training emphasizes email phishing, not visual or audio deception. Users aren’t taught to question video calls or voice messages. Awareness must expand to match the medium.
