Cyber Happy Hour & Panel: Deepfake + Synthetic Media
Join Dune Security and Reality Defender at Cooley’s Hudson Yards office for an evening of networking, cocktails, and a focused panel on the rising enterprise risk of deepfakes and synthetic media.
From cloned executive voices and fake investor pitches to manipulated résumés and synthetic candidates, attackers are exploiting AI-generated content to manipulate insiders and bypass traditional defenses. In fact, recent cases have involved tens of millions lost in single attacks, and Deloitte predicts that deepfake-enabled fraud could cost businesses up to $40 billion by 2027.
Don't miss your chance to connect with NYC's top CISOs and security executives on strategies for staying ahead of today's most sophisticated AI-generated threats.
Free drinks and food are included, plus a few special surprises.
