Ideas for a Security Presentation That Will Wow My Audience

A compelling story is the SANS Institute data breach from 2020 due to a simple phishing attack. Even a top-tier cybersecurity provider wasn't immune! This illustrates that you can’t underestimate basic security measures, no matter how established a company is.

Deepfakes are a must-see! Show some deepfake videos and let them know it can all be done with just a few images from social media. Imagine the CEO or CISO showing up in a video call and it’s actually a deepfake—that’ll grab their attention!

For something fun, consider a quick demo on how Metasploit works. By showing some live vulnerabilities and demo exploitations, you can effectively illustrate the importance of software updates and security patches. However, be cautious; ensure your audience has some baseline tech knowledge.

For a real kicker, share the story of a ransomware group using a networked webcam for an attack. Talk about how vulnerable these devices make us! Also, while visuals are flashy, don’t underestimate voice cloning; that's where the true threat lies. AI is already exploiting it in various scams, so bringing that up would resonate more with your audience.

You should definitely dive into the risks of AI chatbots! A lot of people don’t realize how much personal info they share with them. I’m even advocating for an internal audit of our chatbot usage! Also, AI-generated scam calls are on the rise—it's wild how easily someone can impersonate a local voice, especially with English-speaking scams. Highlighting how AI can create fake images for misleading marketing or news could also be impactful. Think about discussing misinformation and how AI sways public opinion through bot accounts. Lots to unpack here!
