Learning Objectives

  • Identify how attackers use emotions and AI-enabled manipulation in social engineering attempts.
  • Recognize risks associated with deepfakes, AI tools, and agentic workflows.
  • Explain four practical rules for improving emotional resilience under pressure.
  • Apply verification habits when assessing potentially deceptive communications.
  • Explain how system design can contribute to incidents commonly attributed to human error.
  • Recognize implications of the agentic web for audit and cybersecurity governance.

Course Overview

Cybersecurity threats increasingly target human emotions rather than technology alone. As organizations adopt AI tools and agentic workflows, social engineering attacks can become more persuasive and harder to recognize. Professionals need to recognize how emotional manipulation, deepfakes, and AI-enabled deception can influence decisions under pressure.

This course examines how attackers exploit human behavior and how the growing use of large language models and AI tools changes the social engineering landscape. Participants will explore four practical rules for emotional resilience, approaches to slowing down and verifying suspicious requests, and the implications of the agentic web for organizational security. The course also considers why incidents attributed to human error may reflect weaknesses in system design.

Major Topic:

  • AI-enabled social engineering and emotional manipulation
  • Deepfakes and risks in the agentic age
  • Four rules for emotional resilience
  • Verification and decision-making under pressure
  • Human error and security system design
  • Cybersecurity resilience in audit and governance

Designed for executives, directors, and internal audit professionals, the course offers a practical framework for strengthening the human layer of cybersecurity. Attendees will be better prepared to recognize manipulation, apply verification habits under pressure, and contribute to audit and governance conversations about organizational resilience.
