The Executive Deepfake Crisis: When Trust Becomes the Weakest Link
🎭 Deepfake CEOs: The New Corporate Cyber Threat
⚡ Imagine a video call from your CEO instructing an urgent wire transfer.
⚡ The face, the voice, the mannerisms – all perfect. But it is not your CEO.
⚡ AI-driven deepfakes are now the fastest-growing weapon in social engineering, making fraud nearly indistinguishable from real leadership.
⚡ The result? Not just financial losses but eroded trust inside the organization. Employees hesitate, doubting who to believe – a ripple effect that weakens culture and confidence.
⚡ Security tools cannot stop this. Firewalls and antivirus don’t recognize a cloned voice or face. The defense must come from human awareness.
