  • Publication number: 20240179177
    Abstract: A method for creating a training playbook to train a potential target of social engineering against an attack by an adversarial actor includes generating a training playbook based on a plurality of conversational patterns from a respective plurality of dialogs between non-human synthetic persona with the adversarial actor. A given conversational pattern of the plurality of conversational patterns comprises one or more dialog interaction elements utilized by the adversarial actor during a respective dialog of the plurality of dialogs. The method also includes configuring a dialog model for a second synthetic persona to engage in a training dialog with a target trainee to train the target trainee to detect, avoid and/or mitigate a future attack by the adversarial actor.
