Description of AI Security Risks: Cybersecurity Awareness of AI Scams

AI is changing how cyber attacks are carried out—and every employee is now a potential target or line of defense.

You’ll see how AI-generated threats—from deepfake audio to smart phishing—are deployed across channels you use daily.

With clear strategies and relatable examples, you’ll learn how to spot suspicious behavior, protect sensitive data, and use AI tools responsibly at work. Whether reviewing a chatbot response or clicking an email, you’ll know how to avoid dangerous missteps and contribute to your company’s security posture.

  • Recognize AI-generated voice, video, and impersonation scams
  • Prevent data leakage from everyday AI-powered tools and applications
