In this practical, Wired-style session, Oindrilla “Dri” Choudhury breaks down five modern AI-era social engineering plays — from deepfake calls and voice cloning to hyper-personalised phishing and “helpful” tool traps — and the simple habits that stop them even when the usual red flags disappear. Expect real-world scenarios, a clear defensive framework (Pause → Verify → Escalate), and tips senior leaders and busy professionals can actually operationalise without slowing the business. Who it’s for: students, professionals, and leaders who want to understand modern persuasion attacks and build safer verification and reporting habits.About the speakerOindrilla Choudhury is Head of Human Risk at Syngenta Group, a global agriculture company focused on sustainable food systems.
