NEW Deepfake Training: Empowering Your Users to Recognize What AI Can Fake

Title: NEW Deepfake Training: Empowering Your Users to Recognize What AI Can Fake

Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2026

Time: 2:00pm ET

Duration: 1 hour

Your users are being targeted right now. Deepfake attacks happen every few minutes, and nearly half of all organizations have already been hit. When a deepfake lands in your user’s inbox, will they spot it or fall for it?

In this session, Perry Carpenter, Chief Human Risk Management Strategist, and Chris Littlefield, Product Manager, pull back the curtain on the next era of social engineering. Deepfakes, AI agents, and synthetic narratives are reshaping the threat landscape and traditional training no longer prepares users for attacks that feel real. You’ll learn how to build a workforce that stays calm, curious, and grounded in truth, even when a scam sounds exactly like someone they trust.

You'll explore:

How attackers use plausibility, framing, and myth-direction to make AI-generated impersonations feel instantly legitimate
Recent deepfake and voice-clone incidents that expose where human judgment faltered—and how better cognitive defenses would have changed the outcome
Training methods that build narrative awareness and emotional self-regulation, preventing both overreaction and paralysis
Practical verifications your employees can practice to recognize a fake even when an email sounds right, a voice sounds familiar, or a video “looks close enough”
NEW! KnowBe4's Deepfake Training Content shows how to create a custom deepfake training experience featuring your own leaders to transform abstract risk into unforgettable learning moments

You’ll leave the webinar with the strategy and tools to help employees recognize and validate AI-driven manipulation, plus measurable ways to demonstrate to leadership how you can reduce real-world deepfake risks.
