Deepfakes and digital trust

Combat this evolving cybersecurity risk to promote confidence in business

The challenge

Gen AI-created deepfakes are getting more sophisticated—and more dangerous. Companies must act fast to reinforce trust.

Deepfakes can be a lot of things: text, voice, images, even video that’s automated with AI to mimic an actual person. Bad actors use them to spread misinformation, commit fraud and manipulate individuals, organizations or governments.

And as deepfakes become more sophisticated, they’re posing ever-greater threats. Organizations must act fast. By prioritizing enhanced security capabilities, robust controls and employee education, you can reinforce stakeholder trust and cultivate next-level resilience.
