Cybersecurity Basics for an AI-Driven World

Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Spotting Scams and Protecting Your Data AI is changing how we work, shop, and communicate—but it’s also changing how scams, data breaches, and online threats happen. This hands-on workshop breaks down cybersecurity basics in plain language, focusing on what actually matters in the 2026 landscape.

Participants will learn how AI is being used to supercharge phishing, "vishing" (voice cloning scams), and social engineering, and how to spot red flags before they cause damage. You’ll leave with simple, practical steps to protect your personal data, accounts, and online activity, whether you’re an everyday user or a small business owner.

What You'll Learn:
• The New Red Flags: How to identify AI-generated phishing emails that no longer have "obvious" typos.
• Deepfake Awareness: Simple techniques to verify "urgent" voice notes or video calls from colleagues or family.
• Human-First Defense: How to slow down high-pressure moments before reacting or sharing sensitive info.
• Practical Protection: Set up a personal "Security Toolkit" including phishing-resistant MFA and better password habits.
