In boardroom discussions about security awareness investment, there's often scepticism, typically from someone convinced they're immune to social engineering attacks. This mindset challenges the perceived value of security awareness programs. However, the widespread organisational commitment to these programs marks a positive trend.

Yet, the question of sufficiency arises. Drawing a parallel to flu vaccinations—where opinions and outcomes vary widely—highlights the complexity of preparing for future social engineering threats. This analogy leads us to question: What do immunology trends tell us about the future of cyber security?

This presentation delves into how advancements in immunology inform the evolution of social engineering tactics, particularly through the use of large language models. These models enhance the sophistication of attacks, bypassing the defences of even the most informed individuals.
