Provide training about the ways to spot deepfakes, and foster a culture of skepticism,

Deepfakes can cause financial and reputational damage to your organization.

Cybersecurity and fraud prevention are inextricably intertwined. Most organizations have robust firewalls, secure operating systems and intrusion detection systems. Deepfakes bypass these preventative firewalls through social engineering techniques. 

Individuals receive an email from a seemingly reputable source requesting employees give up sensitive information over email. Once this information is provided, hackers infiltrate company’s databases extracting sensitive information. 

Educate your employees about the existence of deepfakes. Provide training about the ways to spot deepfakes, and foster a culture of skepticism, similar to the way that employees are now on guard for phishing emails.
