How AI Is Being Used to Defeat SecurityArtificial intelligence is changing security faster than most organizations realize, and not always in their favor.

In this episode of Vigilant By Design, host Benjamin Johnson, CPP, PSP, PMP, examines how AI is actively being used to defeat traditional security controls by exploiting trust, authority, and human behavior rather than breaking systems directly.

We explore real-world threats including:

• AI-generated fake ID cards and credentials

• Voice cloning used to impersonate executives, employees, or trusted contacts

• AI-written emails and messages that look authentic, timely, and convincing

• Deepfake audio and video used to support social engineering attacks

• Why visual and verbal verification alone can no longer be trusted

This episode explains why these attacks work: they don’t defeat technology, they defeat people operating within systems built on outdated assumptions.

More importantly, we focus on what still works, including:

• Multi-factor and out-of-band verification

• Process-driven decision making over personality or authority

• Training the human layer to recognize manipulation without fear

• Designing systems that assume deception and limit blast radius when mistakes happen

• Building a culture where slowing down to verify is encouraged, not punished

AI didn’t invent deception, it scaled it. Organizations that rely on trust without verification are increasingly vulnerable, while those that design for human behavior remain resilient.

This episode is essential listening for security leaders, executives, facility managers, and anyone responsible for protecting people, property, or information in an age where authenticity can be convincingly faked.
