We're under attack. The bad guys want the things that we have, or they want to pretend to be us to get the things that they want. Sadly, it's easier to fall for their tricks than you think.

As data professionals, we spend a lot of time locking down our servers, our networks, our computers. As people, we do it for our bank accounts and the rest of our family, too. But the scammers can still trick their way in. Phishing is one of their favorite tools, and AI has made their job much easier.

In this session, I'll break down some of the tricks these scammers use to manipulate your emotions and get you to do things that you don't think you'd do. I've come extremely close to being a victim, myself. My goal is to help you be more aware of their methods so that you can avoid the mistakes I almost made.

This is a Level 100 session. It's for anyone. It's currently a 60 minute session, but can be adjusted as needed.

Elevator pitch:
We're under attack. The bad guys want the things that we have, and it's easier to fall for their tricks than you think. I was almost a victim, myself. If you want to learn how to avoid the mistakes I almost made, come listen to the session.
