AI is helping you write emails, but attackers are using it to craft more effective phishing campaigns. In this episode of InfosecTrain Tech Talks: Real World Decoded, host Anas Hamid is joined by offensive security expert Shruti Kapoor to peel back the curtain on how hackers are leveraging AI right now. From automated vulnerability research to the rise of "Agentic AI" that operates independently, we explore the high-level reality of modern cyber threats in 2026.The "course titled" CEH v13 AI Training has become a critical requirement for defenders who need to understand these new automated attack vectors. We discuss why social engineering is becoming cheaper and more scalable through generative AI and provide a strategic roadmap for security professionals to use these same tools to build a more resilient defense posture.📘 What You’ll Learn:The Industrialization of Deception: How hackers use generative AI to remove the manual friction from phishing and social engineering at scale.Agentic AI in Attacks: Understanding the shift toward autonomous bots that can scan, probe, and exfiltrate data at speeds no human team can match.Deepfakes & Disinformation: The role of AI-generated audio and video in modern social engineering and its impact on corporate trust.Automated Exploit Development: A high-level look at how AI is being used to identify CVEs and generate polymorphic payloads that evade traditional detection.The Defender's AI Toolkit: Practical ways to integrate AI into your threat detection and incident response workflows to level the playing field.🎧 Essential listening for ethical hackers, security analysts, and IT leaders who want to know if their AI is helping them or exposing them.Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbdR0ydzdh0
