AI can do what now?! The real risks of AI in social engineering
What is the most immediate risk financial services companies face today?
AI-enabled social engineering is already accelerating real-world attacks. Scale, personalization, speed, and automation are lowering the barrier for attackers while making fraud detection more complex for defenders.
In this episode of AI Can Do What Now?!, Lisa Jones-Huff, director of security solutions architecture at Elastic, is joined by ethical hacker Freakyclown (FC), and principle solutions architect Joe Murin to explore what is actually happening right now — beyond the hype.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How AI is accelerating social engineering
- Where attackers still make mistakes
- What defenders underestimate about human-driven attacks
- What companies should actually be protecting
- Where AI genuinely helps defenders — and where it doesn’t
