Talk: The Art of Deception 2.0: Navigating Deepfakes and Social Engineering
Abstract: The convergence of advanced AI technologies and social engineering tactics has introduced sophisticated threats leveraging deepfakes and synthetic media. These malicious tools manipulate trust, compromise security, and exploit vulnerabilities within organizations. By utilizing realistic synthetic voices, manipulated videos, and fake credentials, cybercriminals deceive individuals, bypass authentication systems, and undermine organizational integrity. Understanding the mechanics of these attacks, their potential impacts, and the strategies to detect and mitigate them is critical for maintaining security. Insights into real-world examples and forward-looking solutions provide the foundation for safeguarding organizations against these increasingly convincing synthetic deceptions.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and Analyze Synthetic Media Threats
- Evaluate the Impact of Synthetic Media on Insider Threats
- Implement Defensive Measures to Combat Deepfakes
