Graduating with Deception: How Adversaries Use AI to Undermine Education

Thursday, October 30, 2025 | 9:45AM–10:30AM CT | Meeting Room 208 B, Level 2
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session
As educational institutions continue to face staffing and funding shortages, adversaries leverage artificial intelligence (AI) alongside other tactics—such as social engineering, brute-force attacks, and malicious files—to target these vulnerable sectors. This session will highlight strategies to bolster security beyond the initial line of defense. Participants will engage with real data specific to the education sector, gain actionable insights through tabletop exercises, and validate strategies to prioritize protections in the short, medium, and long term.
