Deepfakes, social engineering and the digital trust problem

Food for Thought: Rebuilding digital trust in an age of deepfakes, deception and doubt

In partnership with 

This Food for Thought, HotTopics, in partnership with Tata Communications, brings together CIOs, CISOs and other technology leaders to explore what the evolving threat landscape means for digital trust, and how to build resilience and recovery in an age where seeing is no longer believing.

In an era of hyperconnectivity and AI acceleration, the digital trust gap is widening. Sophisticated deepfakes, phishing and vishing campaigns, increasingly automated by criminal and nation-state groups and powered by GenAI, are putting even the most secure organisations under pressure. Traditional detect, prevent and respond measures no longer work. Such digital deception also throws doubt on the processes you work to, and the people you collaborate with.

From securing the human layer and improving your security culture to enhancing digital identity and building resilient, trusted technology ecosystems, participants will examine how organisations can maintain trust with customers, employees and partners alike
