Cyber Security Briefing: How AI Is Transforming SME Attacks in 2026

AI has changed cyber security faster than most SMEs can keep up. Criminals now use AI to automate the high-end attacks once aimed only at large enterprises, and they run them at scale against smaller organisations because it’s cheap, fast and highly profitable.

This briefing shows you exactly how these attacks work and what you must do to protect your business in 2026. Everything is explained in plain English, without technical detail.

What you’ll see on the day

Live demonstrations, including:

• a deepfake video
• a voice clone that could fool busy staff
• phishing emails generated in seconds
• a simple walk-through of the modern attack chain

These demos show why traditional cyber controls no longer hold up and why SMEs are now the softest targets.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of:

• how AI impersonation works and why it bypasses people and payment controls
