This session explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the landscape of social engineering. Drawing on real-world red team experience, Dardan will demonstrate how attackers leverage AI to enhance planning, reconnaissance, and execution across phishing campaigns. From open-source intelligence (OSINT) and profiling to AI-driven tools for email, SMS, and voice-based attacks, participants will gain a clear understanding of how modern adversaries operate—and how to defend against them.

In this session you will:

• Understand the fundamentals of social engineering and the most common phishing methods
• Explore how attackers use AI for planning, OSINT, and profiling to improve targeting
• Examine AI-enhanced tools used for phishing, smishing, and vishing campaigns
• Discover novel AI-driven techniques recently deployed by red teams
