Johan VD Merwe
I am a computer engineering graduate who joined MWR CyberSec in 2021 to dedicate myself to supporting and assisting people in becoming more secure. I have a particular fascination with artificial intelligence (specifically generative AI) that has led me to this intersection of security and machine learning. I have an inquisitive nature and love to question the security implications of emerging technologies.
Session
Recent trends have shown that the next evolution in phishing is the abuse of AI tooling to create realistic and believable deepfake clones. Organisational resilience against deepfake phishing is drastically behind the curve.
In this talk, we will investigate the state of the art, present case studies of actual deepfake attacks, examine the practical feasibility and ease of execution of these kinds of attacks as well as possible solutions to these problems.
