Getting Catfished by AI: Why Your CEO Might Not Be Who You Think They Are
Over the past couple of years, AI, including Agentic AI, Generative AI and automation is starting to change how cybercriminals think about the social engineering attack vector.
Deepfakes that sound like your CEO. Synthetic emails crafted by GenAI that have perfect spelling and grammar and are targeted to an organization and industry using the proper vernacular. Automated attacks that learn and adapt faster than your team can respond.
However, it's crucial we remember that the same tools that are weaponizing human vulnerability are also your most powerful defense. The question isn't whether AI agents will change cybersecurity. It's whether organizations and leaders can implement the change.
In this session, we'll move past the hype and into the practical reality. You'll see how attackers are actually using Agentic AI and synthetic media today, understand where your users are most vulnerable, and learn what it takes to build a human-centered defense strategy that leverages AI as your partner, not your enemy.
Learning Objectives:
You'll leave this session knowing:
- How AI agents are reshaping social engineering—and what that means for your organization
