The Cyber Threat Landscape: What’s Next?

The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, but the “old-school” scams never went away. They just got better. This session takes you from familiar scams to today’s more sophisticated, AI-powered attacks, showing how the same tactics are still being used with greater speed and precision.

Through real-world examples, attendees will see how these attacks actually work, why they continue to succeed, and where people are most vulnerable. Each section connects directly to what to do about it. Attendees will leave with practical, actionable steps to better protect themselves and their organizations.

AI + Scams = A New Era of Cybercrime

Scams didn’t disappear. They got smarter. AI is transforming how scams are created and delivered, from highly personalized phishing to voice cloning and deepfakes that feel real and urgent.

This session breaks down how these attacks work using real-world examples, showing how attackers make scams look legitimate and harder to detect. By understanding why these tactics work, attendees will better recognize risk in everyday moments. The session concludes with practical steps to identify these threats, slow down decision-making, and reduce exposure.

Think Like a Hacker: How Cybercriminals Trick Smart People

Cybercriminals target people, not just systems. From phishing and fake invoices to CEO fraud, smishing, and spoofed calls, attackers rely on everyday habits and human behavior to gain access.

This session uses real examples to show how these attacks work and how easily they can appear legitimate. By understanding how trust and urgency are exploited, attendees will see where they are most vulnerable. Attendees will leave with practical steps to recognize warning signs, manage passwords safely, and avoid common scams at work and in their personal lives.

You’re Compliant… But Are You Secure?

Compliance may check the box. It doesn’t stop the attack. Many organizations meet compliance requirements but remain vulnerable because controls don’t always hold up in real-world situations.

This session uses real examples to show how attackers bypass common controls, from phishing that evades training to MFA fatigue and vendor-based social engineering. Attendees will see where gaps exist between policy and practice and how those gaps are exploited. The session concludes with practical steps to strengthen controls and build a program that actually reduces risk.
