Understand the Risks of Deepfake Voice Cloning

What if you received a phone call from your boss, and it sounded exactly like them, but it wasn't? This is the new reality of deepfake audio and voice cloning. This fascinating case study breaks down how commercially available AI can be used to execute sophisticated social engineering attacks, weaponizing a trusted, cloned voice to bypass security. This is the cutting edge of social engineering threats. You'll learn that the primary risk is no longer just a suspicious email, but a fluid, believable, and scalable audio attack that can fool even trained employees. Understanding this threat is crucial for developing next-generation defenses and reinforces the need to verify unusual requests through a separate communication channel.
