Security News > 2020 > January > 2020: A year of deepfakes and deep deception

The first examples of deepfakes seen by the general public were mainly amateur videos created using free deepfake tools, typically of celebrities' faces superimposed into pornographic videos.

This October, Governor Gavin Newsom signed California's AB 730, known as the "Anti-Deepfake Bill," into law with the intent to quell the spread of malicious deepfakes before the 2020 election.

2020 will be the year we start to see deepfakes become a real threat to the enterprise, one that cyber defense teams are not yet equipped to handle.

Deepfakes have the ability to supercharge these attacks.

Currently, the security industry has no appliances, email filters, or any technology to defend against deepfakes.
