Synthetic Media, Deep Fakes, and Cyber Deception

Angebote / Angebote:

The use of artificial intelligence to fabricate or augment identities is a central information security issue that has raised to the top of all threat lists. Synthetic mediädeepfakes, digital impersonation, and other technologies¿are rapidly changing the cyber threatscape by providing criminals with game-changing capabilities when using social engineering tactics. The introduction of deepfakes¿or hyper-realistic fabricated video or audio recordings created through advanced deep learning tools, such as autoencoders (AE) or generative adversarial networks (GAN), has meaningfully expanded cybercriminals¿ arsenal to facilitate attacks with synthetic media. Synthetic Media, Deepfakes, and Cyber Deception: Attacks, Analysis, and Defenses introduces the only analytical Synthetic Media Analysis Framework (SMAF) to help describe these cyber threats and help security professionals anticipate and analyze attacks. This framework encompasses seven dimensions: Credibility, Control, Medium, Interactivity, Familiarity, Intended Target, and Evocation. Synthetic media is a broad term that encompasses the artificial manipulation, modification, and production of information, covering a wide spectrum from audio-video deepfakes to text-based chatbots. Remote Online Social Engineering (ROSE) attacks depend upon gaining a victim¿s trust and convincing them that the scammer is legitimate. Synthetic media provides cyber attackers and scammers with a game-changing advantage over traditional ROSE attacks because they have the potential to convincingly impersonate close associates through text, imagery, voice, and video. This burgeoning threat has yet to be meaningfully addressed through any written treatment on the topic. Synthetic Media, Deepfakes, and Cyber Deception is co-authored by three cyber influence and deception experts who have gained deep knowledge and experience on the topic through diverse, true operational pathways and backgrounds. The diversity and perspectives of the author team makes the content in the book the broadest and deepest treatment of synthetic media attacks available to readers. This book is a unique and unprecedented resource in the burgeoning science, theory, and analysis of synthetic media cyber deception.
