Hacking code is hard. Hacking minds? That's easier. And with deepfakes, AI-crafted invoices, and hyper-real phishing, it's faster, harder to spot, and devastatingly effective at getting what attackers have always wanted: your company's money.

Dr. Jessica Barker, a global authority on the psychology of cybersecurity, takes us inside the human vulnerabilities AI preys on. She'll explain how bias makes employees susceptible to manipulation and show practical ways to apply psychology, sociology, and neuroscience to strengthen daily decisions across cyber and finance teams. She'll also expose the psychology of silos—how divisions between these teams create the very blind spots social engineers rely on, and what leaders can do to shut them down.

You'll learn:

  • Which human biases AI exploits to bypass finance and security teams
  • How siloed decision-making makes teams easier to manipulate
  • A smarter way to train teams with behavior-focused defense
