The widespread adoption of deepfake training simulations signals a fundamental shift in cybersecurity awareness programs. Organizations must move beyond traditional phishing detection training to address AI-generated threats that can perfectly mimic executive communication styles and create convincing video/audio impersonations. This trend indicates that human judgment enhancement through hands-on exposure to sophisticated AI-backed scams will become a critical component of organizational security posture. The Japanese market's adoption suggests global expansion of localized deepfake training programs tailored to regional business contexts and communication patterns.
