Featuring Charles Henderson, EVP of Cyber Security Services at Coalfire and Head of DivisionHex who discusses how AI is changing the economics of cybercrime and enabling attackers to dramatically expand the reach of brand impersonation scams.

As these tools become more accessible, fraud operations are shifting from handcrafted attacks to high-volume campaigns that rely on speed, automation, and scale. What once required specialized skills can now be done in minutes, allowing scammers to produce polished sites that look legitimate in search results and advertisements.
