Deepfakes, Defenders, and the New Age of AI-Powered Cyber Threats

Detect, Defend, and Stay Ahead of AI-Driven Attacks

Deepfakes are no longer experimental—they are actively being used in cyberattacks to impersonate executives, manipulate communications, and bypass traditional security controls. From voice cloning to AI-generated identities, attackers are leveraging AI faster than many organizations can adapt.

In this session, you’ll gain a clear understanding of how AI-powered threats are evolving, why conventional defenses are struggling to keep up, and what cybersecurity professionals and organizations must do to respond effectively.

This interactive webinar will walk you through real-world attack scenarios, emerging detection strategies, and the growing need for AI-aware cybersecurity skills—helping you take the first step toward building stronger, future-ready defenses.
