AI Is Supercharging Human Attacks: How CISOs Are Rethinking Email, Identity and Risk

Cybercriminals are operationalizing generative AI to scale phishing, business email compromise (BEC) and identity-based attacks—making them more convincing, targeted and harder to detect. The human attack surface has become the primary entry point into the enterprise.

In this session, security leaders from Proofpoint, Cintas and GuidePoint Security examine how attackers are exploiting people, trusted vendor relationships and identity to bypass defenses that organizations have long relied on.

What you’ll learn

• How AI is accelerating modern email and identity-based attacks
• Why trusted controls like DMARC and MFA are being bypassed—through vendor email compromise and token hijacking
• Lessons learned from real-world enterprise environments
• How to reduce human risk with a layered, identity-centered approach

Attendees will leave with insights to strengthen defenses, improve user resilience and better protect against today’s most persistent threats.
