Living Security Expands Cybersecurity Awareness Month with AI Deception Experiences

Living Security, a global leader in Human Risk Management, has expanded its 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month program with two new interactive experiences designed to help employees prepare for the challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology.
The new experiences, Verified and Trust No One, are part of Living Security’s comprehensive Cybersecurity Awareness Month offering, which includes expert speakers, interactive learning experiences, campaign content, employee communications, and planning resources. The program is aimed at engaging security awareness teams and providing them with the tools needed to run an engaging October campaign.
According to Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-Founder of Living Security, the new experiences are crucial in an era where AI is transforming the threat landscape.
Verified is a live, hosted 30-minute game-show experience that challenges employees to navigate increasingly convincing AI-powered threats. Across three interactive rounds, participants evaluate scenarios involving deepfake video, cloned voices, phishing, smishing, impersonation attacks, and AI-powered automation. The experience focuses on contextual warning signs such as unexpected urgency, changes to normal processes, unfamiliar communication channels, and unusual requests for money, credentials, or sensitive information.
Trust No One is a new CyberEscape Online experience that immerses employees in a team-based investigation centered on identity, deception, and trust. Participants investigate how a sophisticated fraud attempt nearly resulted in financial loss. As they retrace the attack, teams discover how cybercriminals combined publicly available information, business email compromise techniques, AI-generated voice cloning, and impersonation to create a convincing request from a trusted colleague.
Throughout the investigation, participants practice three critical behaviors: slowing down before acting, verifying information and identities through a trusted channel, and trusting evidence and established processes, not assumptions. The experience reinforces that as attacks become more technologically sophisticated, simple human behaviors remain powerful defenses.
Living Security’s 2026 State of Human Risk Report found that 74.8% of risky behavior traces to the riskiest 10% of the workforce, yet two in three people in this year's riskiest 10% were not on last year's list. The findings highlight the need to engage employees and manage risk continuously throughout the year.
The new experiences are part of Living Security's broader 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month program, which is designed to give security awareness teams everything they need to plan, launch, and run an engaging October campaign. The gamified program includes expert keynote speakers, interactive and gamified learning experiences, ready-to-launch awareness content, employee communications, campaign resources, and a structured 30-day engagement calendar.
