In this session, we explore how AI is being used in everyday tools—and how it's also creating new opportunities for threat actors. This training emphasizes awareness, responsible usage, and practical security behaviors to help you stay one step ahead.

Key Topics Covered:

Understanding AI and Its Integration: Learn what AI really is, how tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and voice assistants like Siri and Alexa work, and how AI is quietly embedded in everything from email platforms to project management systems.

Best Practices for Secure AI Use:

Refer to policies like Acceptable Use, InfoSec, and AI-specific guidelines.
Stay educated through ongoing training and awareness programs.
Never upload sensitive data into public or unvetted AI tools.
Vet any new AI tool for privacy and compliance before using it.
Always apply human oversight—review AI outputs critically.

Why This Matters:

AI is not going away—it’s becoming a core part of our daily lives and work. But just as it helps us move faster, it can also expose us to new risks if not handled securely. With the right policies, training, and human oversight, we can harness the power of AI while staying protected.
