AI Scam & Deepfake Awareness.
How AI is being used to create scams, deepfakes, and phishing attacks, and how your team can recognise them before they cost you. Essential training for finance, HR, and executive teams.
Our team has trained:
Who this is for
Any organisation where staff handle money movement, sensitive data, or executive communications. In 2025, Australian businesses lost over $1 billion to AI-enabled fraud. The attack surface is moving faster than most security training has caught up to.
Finance and AP teams
Invoice fraud and CFO impersonation are the fastest-growing AI scam vectors. Finance teams are the primary target.
HR teams
Recruitment scams, fake candidates, and payroll diversion attacks are rising sharply, often targeting people ops.
Executive assistants and PAs
Voice cloning of executives is now trivial. EAs and PAs acting on executive instructions are a key attack surface.
Customer-facing teams
Deepfake video calls and synthetic identity fraud are hitting customer service and account management teams.
What your team will be able to do
- ✓
Recognise the four main attack patterns: voice cloning, deepfake video, AI-written phishing, and synthetic identity fraud
- ✓
Spot the technical and behavioural tells that give these attacks away
- ✓
Apply a verification protocol for high-stakes requests: money movement, credential changes, urgent executive directives
- ✓
Understand the social engineering patterns AI now scales, and why "this looks legitimate" is no longer a defence
- ✓
Know what to do when something feels off, and who to escalate to
Workshop agenda
45 min
Module 1: The new threat landscape
Why AI changed the game. Real Australian case studies: what worked, what didn't, what it cost. Live demonstration of voice cloning and deepfake generation (with consent, for educational purposes).
45 min
Module 2: Voice and video deepfakes
How they're made, how cheap they are now, and the tells that still work. Hands-on exercise: spot the deepfake.
45 min
Module 3: AI-powered phishing and BEC
Why AI-written phishing emails defeat traditional training. New detection patterns. The CFO impersonation playbook attackers use.
30 min
Module 4: The verification protocol
A practical, four-step protocol your team can apply to any unusual request. Includes templates for finance, HR, and executive support roles.
30 min
Module 5: Tabletop exercise
Live scenarios. Teams work through realistic incidents and practise the verification protocol under time pressure.
15 min
Module 6: Building organisational defence
What to take back to your security and ops teams. Recommended controls, escalation paths, and a 30-day action plan.
Format and pricing
Half-day workshop · 3 hours
From $5,000 + GST
In-person or live online.
No headcount limits
One session fee covers the room, whether that's 10 people or 500. This workshop runs well with large groups. The threat demonstrations and tabletop exercises scale effectively to any audience size.
For organisations wanting deeper role-specific training, we can run targeted sessions for finance, HR, and executive teams separately, with scenarios and verification protocols tailored to each team's actual exposure.
Includes: Live deepfake demonstrations, scenario packs, verification protocol templates, and a participant handbook
Optional: Quarterly refresh program. The threat landscape moves and your team's training needs to as well
If it does not land, we run it again
If the session does not deliver what we scoped with you in discovery, we re-run it for the same group at no charge. We would rather fix it than keep a fee we did not earn.
Why this matters now
01
Voice cloning dropped to 30 seconds of audio.
Any executive with a public-facing role (earnings calls, conference talks, podcast appearances) can be cloned in minutes.
02
Deepfake video became real-time.
Attackers can now run live deepfakes on Zoom and Teams calls. The "let's jump on a video call to verify" defence no longer works.
03
AI-written phishing defeats traditional training.
The grammar mistakes and awkward phrasing your team learned to spot are gone. Phishing emails now read like they're from the actual sender.

Frequently asked questions
Who should attend this workshop?
Finance, HR and executive teams, and anyone who can move money, approve a payment or release data. Those are the roles attackers target because they hold the authority the attack needs.
How long is the workshop and what does it cost?
It runs as a half day and starts from $5,000. Pricing is per cohort rather than per seat, so the fee covers your whole team.
Does it cover deepfakes as well as phishing?
Yes. The workshop covers how AI is used to create scams, deepfakes and phishing attacks, and how to recognise them in the moment rather than afterwards.
Can it be delivered online?
Yes. Onsite at your offices or live online, with the same content either way.
Is this technical training?
No. It is built for finance, HR and executive teams rather than security specialists, so no technical background is assumed. Teams that want tool-specific training should look at the workshop catalogue.
