When it comes to security, we trust big brands are the best without question, but in practice sometimes big brands are not as good as we think. Google has been in our everyday lives for over two decades, we cannot start our day without Google and its applications. From searching for the nearest coffee shop to finding the best route to our next destination, all thanks to Google and their hard work to make our lives easier.
However, this is not always the case, sometimes technology can make our lives more complicated. For example, you probably have come across one of these puzzles at least once in your life and it might have got you fed up and you sounded like Ahhhhh… This is the sound of a frustrated internet user when facing Google ReCAPTCHA
For those who are not familiar with this subject, Google ReCAPTCHA is a tool that protects websites from automated Bot requests. For organisations, it is essential to make sure they have sufficient safeguarding in place to allow only legitimate human users to interact with their online services. Computer Bots can damage and abuse their resources and infrastructure and result in data breaches as well as financial and reputational damage for organisations.
With the AI revolution and the resulting advancement in computer Bots, the game has now changed, and computer Bots can solve, and bypass Google ReCAPTCHA much faster and better than human users. The research confirms that the computer recognition success rate to solve Google ReCAPTCHA is over 99% while human users can only solve these puzzles at a 30% success rate.
It might come as a surprise why Google doesnt care about this issue, since while more of these puzzles are being solved every day, it helps Google to index their picture library. Every time you solve any of these puzzles, you are helping Google free of charge to train its machine learning algorithm to recognise images more accurately. Otherwise, it would cost Google billions of dollars to hire people to do this job.
For CISOs and technical managers, it is essential to adopt a security solution that at least meets two essential conditions: maintaining the highest level of security and at the same time being the most user-friendly tool by not affecting the customers online experience.
