Overview

Cyber threats are evolving - and AI is accelerating them.

 In 2025, cybercriminals are using generative AI to launch faster, smarter, and more personalized attacks than ever before. From deepfake voicemails impersonating executives to hyper-targeted phishing emails, today's AI-powered threats are no longer just an IT concern - they're a critical HR responsibility.

Why? Because HR teams manage some of the most sensitive and high-value data in any organization - employee medical info, social security numbers, disciplinary records, and more. And with many HR tools and workflows now incorporating AI (like ChatGPT, automation bots, or third-party plugins), the risk of exposure, misuse, or manipulation has never been higher.

This actionable, HR-centered session will arm you with the strategies, policies, and safeguards you need to protect your people and your company in an AI-driven threat landscape.

What You'll Learn and Apply

• Spot AI-enhanced social engineering and cyber attack patterns
  • Understand how hackers are using AI to impersonate employees, spoof HR communications, and harvest internal data
  • Learn what modern AI-enabled phishing, pretexting, and vishing (voice scams) look like - and how HR can help prevent them
• Strengthen your HR department’s cybersecurity posture
  • Best practices for securely handling sensitive employee data within AI-enabled platforms
  • How to enforce secure prompt writing and monitor risky behaviors in AI chat interfaces
• Align AI, cybersecurity, and compliance policies
  • What new and upcoming 2025 regulations (CCPA updates, FTC guidance, EEOC policies) mean for HR-led AI use
  • Step-by-step guidance on drafting a combined AI + Cybersecurity Acceptable Use Policy for your workforce
• Build an HR-led internal awareness campaign
  • Equip your HR team with training materials and internal comms to proactively educate employees on AI risks - from generative AI misuse to unauthorized data sharing
    

Why you should Attend

• Because AI-generated phishing emails can now mimic your CEO’s tone - and HR is often the first target
• Because one careless ChatGPT prompt could leak protected employee data
• Because your employees are using AI tools with no clear policy - and no awareness of the risks
• Because state and federal regulators will not accept ignorance as an excuse in 2025
• Cyber threats are faster, smarter, and more deceptive - and HR holds the keys to the most valuable data in the organization
• If you're not actively protecting against AI-driven attacks, you're already vulnerable
