In this conversation, I speak with Shiladitya Sircar, Senior VP of Product Engineering and Data Science at BlackBerry.

We talk about:

The Rise of Deepfakes and Cyber Threats
Innovation Meets Malicious Intent: Deepfakes are not just a tech novelty; they’re a growing threat. From text-based phishing to hyper-realistic fake videos and audio, the landscape of cyber threats is evolving rapidly. Deepfake technology can clone voices, making it easier for cybercriminals to impersonate individuals and bypass security measures.

Understanding Identity Compromise
Voice Cloning Dangers: Our brains are wired to trust familiar voices, making voice cloning particularly insidious. We share a chilling story about a cybercriminal impersonating Ferrari’s CEO. The attacker’s deepfake was so convincing that it almost led to a major scam.

The Impact on Trust
Eroding Trust in Systems: Deepfakes can undermine trust in institutions and systems, much like traditional scams but with a high-tech twist. Beyond individual attacks, deepfakes can manipulate public opinion and even influence elections. Organizations need to train employees to spot deepfakes, and there’s a pressing need for laws that specifically address deepfakes and identity spoofing.
