Session
Modern vishing attacks exploit the tension between fast, helpful support and rigorous identity verification, enabling a single convincing phone call to bypass even strong technical controls.
Drawing on real-world red team engagements and a live AI voice-cloning demonstration, this session examines the full attack lifecycle - from reconnaissance and pretext development to human manipulation and account compromise. Attendees will gain practical guidance for planning safe, ethical and effective vishing simulations, including actionable lessons and common pitfalls encountered in the field.
