#1729837: "Cyber CSI 2.0: Phishing Forensics in the Age of AI and Deepfakes"

Description: The phishing arms race has entered a dangerous new phase. Old detection methods no longer work in 2026. AI-generated phishing emails now mimic writing styles perfectly. Deepfake voice and video calls impersonate your CEO with ease. Even “safe” platforms like Microsoft Teams and protected domains aren't bulletproof.

Join Roger A. Grimes, CISO Advisor at KnowBe4, for a fresh look at modern phishing forensics. Roger will show you the latest tools and methods to catch high-tech social engineering before it hits your network.

In this session, you'll learn how to:

Dissect AI-generated phishing emails and spot the subtle clues that reveal machine-crafted deception
Understand what DMARC actually protects (and what it doesn't), plus how attackers bypass it
Use practical methods to identify fake voice calls and video impersonations, and analyze phishing attempts through Microsoft Teams, Slack, SMS (smishing), voice calls (vishing), and social media
Train your users to spot and report phishing attempts
Get inside the mind of a hacker and master the forensic skills that separate compromised organizations from protected ones.
