MetaCompliance is a cyber security and compliance organisation that helps transform your company culture and safeguard your data and values. We create state-of-the art eLearning, GDPR, policy management, incident management and phishing solutions that our clients trust to help them create a better relationship with employees and regulators.

Phishing emails are getting harder to spot — not because people aren't paying attention, but because attackers are using AI to create messages that sound real, look urgent and land at exactly the wrong moment. 

This webcast looks at what it really takes to build resilience. Not just training people to spot threats but helping them stay calm under pressure and make better decisions when it counts. 

We’ll share examples of how attackers are using stress and speed to bypass judgement, including one phishing email that claimed Pegasus spyware was installed - and appeared to come from the victim’s own address. 

In this session, we explore: 
- Why awareness alone isn’t enough 
- How phishing tactics are designed to trigger fast decisions 
- What resilience looks like in practice 
- Simple ways to help users slow down and respond with confidence

Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI
