Dealing with Deepfakes in The Corporate Setting
Deepfake technology has become a vexing issue in the privacy and cybersecurity space. Bad actors are leveraging deepfakes to conduct cyberscams and harass people from all walks of life.
When you hear about deepfake technology, your mind probably goes to one of those personal attacks. Perhaps a bad actor has placed the facial likeness of a famous person onto explicit content, with the hopes of either blackmailing the victim for a sum of money, or to simply harm their reputation.

This blog post will explain how deepfakes can be weaponized in a corporate environment, and what security professionals can do to protect their organizations from losing valuable assets when this technology is deployed.
