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

- 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
