aaHello!! With AI-driven phishing threats becoming harder to detect, this new course gives small businesses the tools they need to stay a step ahead – from deepfakes to voice cloning.
Hosted by renowned cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker, Katie Paxton-Fear, the series is designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) strengthen their digital defences in an increasingly complex cyber environment.
The course focuses on some of the more prevalent forms of AI-driven phishing attacks, including spear phishing, whaling, clone phishing, deep fakes and voice cloning.
This continues a broader campaign that Vodafone Business started last year to raise awareness about the growing threat of AI-driven phishing scams in the business sector.
As a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, Katie’s expertise spans AI, machine learning and information security.
