Cybersecurity at Work: AI-Powered Scams

A practical course for people who work in offices, not in IT. Criminals now use AI to write flawless phishing emails, clone a boss's voice and even fake a whole video call: in 2024 an Arup employee in Hong Kong paid about US$25 million after a meeting where everyone else was a deepfake. You will learn to spot phishing and social engineering, check a voice or video call before acting, stop payment scams such as fake invoices and changed bank details, protect your accounts with a password manager, two-step verification and passkeys, keep company data out of public chatbots, and know exactly what to do in the first minutes if you fall for a scam. Every case is real and sourced.
