What We’ll Cover:
Join Aldridge and CYPFER on February 24 at 11:00 AM Central Time for an executive-level discussion on how the cyber threat landscape is changing and why it now requires leadership attention. This session goes beyond cybersecurity 101 and focuses on the real risks executives face today, including how AI-enabled impersonation and modern attack techniques bypass traditional security controls.
The discussion is grounded in real examples and designed for leaders who want clarity, not noise.
Topics
- What has actually changed in the cyber threat landscape – How AI and modern tooling are making attacks easier to execute, harder to detect, and more effective at exploiting people and business processes.
- How executives are being targeted in new ways – Attacks now bypass traditional security by abusing executive identity and trust to drive unauthorized business actions.
- A real deepfake and impersonation example – See how convincingly modern impersonation works and learn the simple verification practices that stop fraud before damage occurs.
- Protecting your home and your family – Practical steps executives can take to reduce personal exposure that can be leveraged back into the business.
- What a strong incident response looks like under pressure – How prepared organizations respond in the first critical hours and what leaders should expect when decisions matter most.
- Clear actions you can take today – Concrete, practical steps leaders can implement immediately to strengthen personal and organizational security, without waiting on new tools or vendors.
