Overview

Spoofing, deepfakes, voice cloning, and AI-driven scams - impersonation attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, convincing, and dangerous across email, voice, SMS, and social media channels. This course exposes exactly how cybercriminals exploit trust, familiarity, and urgency to manipulate individuals and infiltrate organisations, then puts that knowledge to the test through decision-based scenarios and interactive detection challenges.
