In this powerful one-hour master training session, investigators are immersed into the modern frontier where human intuition melds with machine intelligence. “Humanity Rewired” reveals how artificial intelligence has transformed the investigative agenda of automating analysis, accelerating discovery and exposing patterns once latent to the human eye. Attendees will learn how to integrate AI into various case types, such as harassment, counterfeit, insurance, general fraud and legal investigations, among others. In effect, investigators will enable the ability to process data faster, verify leads with greater accuracy and generate more in-depth intelligence within a fraction of the time. This course also demystifies how AI-enabled efforts can maintain client confidentiality while leveraging advanced analytical tools. Designed for serious investigative professionals ready to transition from investigators of yesteryear to pioneers in the new era of digital intelligence, attendees will become vetted to offer sharper insights, stronger evidence and quicker case resolution through a competitive edge in the evolving investigative domain. Investigators attending this session will understand how to harness AI not as a replacement for human reasoning but as its most powerful ally.

Social Engineering: The Dangerous Nexus between the Cyber and Physical Worlds

Reinforce what modern experts and industry statistics are calling the weakest link in your layered security apparatus: the human involvement (employees). Social engineering is known to have been successfully deployed in >95% of cyberattacks. Avoid throwing away your security investments with untrained employees who can be victimized by the next well-crafted social engineering plot, including pretexting, vishing, smishing, phishing, water hole attacks, whaling and tailgating. Social engineering is no longer reserved for the banking industries and is one of the easiest channels for bad actors to gain access to your sensitive data. As such, it is reported to have increased by significantly and especially targeting remote workers where security infrastructure may be much less enforced. Inform your employees to question everyone. Escalate awareness into action on behalf of your company’s safety and their own.
