Course Objective & Scope
Generative AI enables threat actors to clone an executive's voice from seconds of public audio, join video calls with real-time face swaps, and craft flawless localized spear-phishing messages at scale. Visual and auditory familiarity can no longer be trusted as proof of identity.
This awareness and defense course walks corporate teams through real-world AI fraud incidents—from multi-million-dollar deepfake CFO video scams to synthetic remote job candidates and vendor invoice fraud. Participants practice behavioral detection cues and establish strict out-of-band verification and escalation protocols.
Who Should Attend?
- Finance, treasury, accounting, and procurement teams handling wire transfers, invoices, and vendor bank updates
- Executives, executive assistants, board liaisons, and corporate communications teams
- HR recruiters conducting remote video interviews and customer support/helpdesk staff handling account resets
- Suitable for all employees; no technical prerequisites
Key Takeaways
- Identify AI-enabled attack vectors including voice cloning (vishing), live video deepfakes, and hyper-personalized BEC
- Recognize psychological manipulation triggers such as artificial urgency, secrecy demands, and authority pressure
- Apply live call verification challenges and spot contextual anomalies during video or voice interactions
- Enforce mandatory out-of-band verification and dual-authorization rules for payments and credential requests
- Execute immediate containment and incident reporting steps when synthetic impersonation is suspected
