New York Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

The NYCFE is pleased to welcome Peter Warmka, Founder of  Counterintelligence Institute as he presents:

Deepfakes and Advanced Social Engineering Fraud

Technology is neither good nor evil.  Its impact on society depends upon the intentions of the beholder.  Since its inception in 2017, the use of synthetic media to create deepfakes is evolving at an explosive rate.  While proponents of such technology enthusiastically embrace numerous applications for the benefit of humankind, its use by fraudsters has already resulted in several successful multi-million dollar fraud schemes.

The audience will leave with:

• An understanding of threat actors and their objectives
• How threat actors use social media platforms to identify and assess employees as potential insider candidates
• How insider motivations and vulnerabilities are leveraged into the design and execution of advanced social engineering techniques including Spear Phishing, Smishing, Vishing and Face-to-Face approaches
• The evolution and impact of Deep Fake technology in human hacking schemes
• What tools are available for the detection of Deepfakes
• Examples of how enterprises can establish verification and authentication procedures to mitigate most social engineering threats to include deepfakes

Attendees will be entitled to 2 CPE credits!
