AI Security Awareness for Staff

AI is rewriting the playbook for phishing, voice scams, and impersonation. This hour gets your team ready for the new generation of attacks — without scaring them.

TL;DR
  • AI doesn't break security tools — it makes scams more convincing.

  • The new patterns: deepfake voice calls, hyper-personalized phishing, and prompt-injection traps in shared documents.

  • Defense: slower decisions on financial requests, callback verification, and a healthy 'this seems off' instinct.

What's actually new

AI tools have made it cheap to produce convincing fake voices, fake emails, and fake documents. The defense is mostly the same as it was — verify out-of-band, slow down on urgent money requests — but the threshold for being fooled is much lower than it used to be.

What we cover

Hands-on, scenario-based.

  • Deepfake voice calls and the 'CFO emergency' scam pattern.
  • AI-generated phishing emails — why they're harder to spot.
  • Prompt-injection in shared documents (e.g., a PDF that tells your AI to forward something).
  • QR-code and URL trickery that hides behind AI summaries.
  • Verification habits: callback policies, two-channel confirmation for money.

What you leave with

A staff cheat sheet of red flags and a verification protocol your finance team can adopt the next day.

Common questions

Plain-English answers

Is this a replacement for our security training?
No — it's a supplement. Most security awareness training hasn't been updated for the new AI-driven threats.
