AI is changing the economics and sophistication of social engineering. Attackers can now research targets faster, personalize phishing at scale, imitate writing styles, clone voices and create convincing deepfake video — making attacks that once required significant time and skill far easier to execute.

In this session, we will explore how attackers are actually using AI to their advantage across email, phone and video. Rather than only talking about these threats, participants will see realistic demonstrations of AI-powered phishing, voice cloning and deepfake impersonation, and experience how convincing these attacks can be in practice.

We will examine why many of the traditional warning signs employees have been taught to rely on are becoming less effective. When an email is perfectly written, the context makes sense, the voice sounds familiar and the person on the screen looks real — what can we still trust?

Participants will leave with a practical understanding of how AI is changing social engineering, how attackers exploit these technologies, and how organizations need to rethink the way employees recognize and respond to deception.
