Deepfakes: When seeing is no longer believing

Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the way organizations identify, respond to and recover from cyberattacks. Concurrently, bad actors are weaponizing AI as both an attack vector and attack surface, adding to the growing list of digital vulnerabilities and blind spots in the insider risk space. In 2019, a reported 14,000 deepfake videos were found online, a 100% increase over those detected just one year prior. One of the most prominent forms of AI exploited by bad actors today is a deepfake. To put it simply, a deepfake is a type of AI-generated media that depicts a person saying or doing something they did not say or do.
