Cyber Security and Threats: Deepfakes Impacts and Risks

Deep Fake is a technology which was invented by Ian Goodfellow. The Deep Fake works with generative adversarial networks (GANs). It is an algorithm which classifies data into creating images or generating them. In this scenario, two GANs try to trick each other into thinking that the image is real; the usage of the actual image is very little, and GAN can create a different version of that person.

There have been many controversies around this technology which have been affecting society, e.g., the US election, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. There have been several research efforts conducted on finding methods to deduce the negative effects of deep fake. This assignment will focus on finding the solution to deepfake attacks and what potential risks can be seen in such attacks. The impact of this attack will also be elaborated and what kind of techniques can be used to help in recovering an organization.
