Phishing used to be as easy to spot as a cat in a dog park: misspelled names, weird email addresses, and “urgent” requests from long-lost Nigerian princes. Those were the good ol’ days. Now? The game has changed. Meet polymorphic phishing, the slick, ever-evolving cousin of traditional phishing that can shapeshift faster than your SIEM can blink.

This isn’t just phishing 2.0. This is phishing that’s gone to the gym, changed its hair, and started wearing a disguise. It’s changed more than you have since your high school yearbook picture 20 years ago, and it’s a serious threat to even well-defended networks. Let’s dig into what makes this chameleon of cybercrime so dangerous and what we can do about it.

When no two emails look the same, even within the same campaign, and payloads are cloaked better than a Romulan warbird, how does that change our defense? We will discuss the usual suspects in the social engineering world and compare their tactics to their new Botox equipped cousins.

In this session we will discuss:
• Phishing tactics and emotional triggers
• The issues polymorphic phishing adds
• Ways to counter the new and improved attacks
