Abstract: The advancement of AI and related technologies is resulting in an explosion of scams and social engineering techniques using deepfakes. This creates a challenge for organizations across all verticals, but especially for those for which identity verification or claims, evidence or facts are part of the value proposition. Because the security industry has yet to develop an effective suite of controls for deepfakes, most organizations reinforce their own anti-phishing/anti-social engineering process and technology capabilities and harden their credentials and authentication controls. In this presentation, we’ll cover a wide range of deepfake use cases and potential controls to manage this new and evolving risk.
Dave Shackleford, founder of Voodoo Security, has advanced cybersecurity through his leadership roles, including serving as CTO for the Center for Internet Security, where he coordinated the first published virtualization security benchmarks.
