Here is an article that explains the rise in Deepfakes and how to defend against it. The shocking thing to me is that a candidate for a job used Deepfake to interview at a security company hence a big reason why I'm sharing this. Here are the highlights: - Rising AI Attacks: Generative AI (GenAI) attacks, including deepfakes, are increasing. AI-generated content now makes up around 12% of emails, up from 7% in 2022. - OWASP Guidance: The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications & Generative AI has released new guidance to help organizations prepare for AI-based threats, including: - Motivation for Companies: Scott Clinton, OWASP co-project lead, highlights that companies seek to use AI for competitive advantage and need secure ways to adopt it without hindrance. - Real-World Example of Deepfake: Exabeam experienced a deepfake job candidate who passed initial screenings but was flagged during a video interview for digital artifacts and lack of emotion. This led Exabeam to enhance their HR and security processes for identifying AI-based threats. - Increased Concern: A survey by Ironscales found 48% of IT professionals are concerned about deepfakes now, and 74% believe they will become a major threat in the future. - Future Deepfake Threats: AI advancements mean realistic digital impersonations, or "sock puppets," are likely to emerge, making traditional trust methods in communications unreliable. - Need for Better Defenses: Exabeam’s CISO emphasizes the need for technical solutions that can detect deepfakes reliably as technology improves. - OWASP Recommendations: Rather than relying solely on human detection, OWASP suggests creating technical infrastructures and processes (e.g., for financial transactions) to authenticate video chats and flag deepfakes effectively. https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/owasp-genai-security-guidance-growing-deepfakes?_mc=NL_DR_EDT_DR_weekly_20241107&cid=NL_DR_EDT_DR_weekly_20241107&sp_aid=126670&elq_cid=48212532&sp_eh=8a4f3735fea3437632a88ec2156d2a460af1cdccdd08ebe8d59c3df2bef7861f&sp_eh=8a4f3735fea3437632a88ec2156d2a460af1cdccdd08ebe8d59c3df2bef7861f&utm_source=eloqua&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DR_NL_Dark%20Reading%20Weekly_11.07.24&sp_cid=55733&utm_content=DR_NL_Dark%20Reading%20Weekly_11.07.24

Think of it as a search engine on steroids! 3. Claude - Code & Content Generation For those working with code, Claude is a strong alternative to ChatGPT for content generation, especially when working on projects that require precise code and technical writing. 4. Notion - Productivity, Notes, and Organization Notion is a powerful tool for managing notes, tasks, and projects. It’s like having a customizable digital planner that you can shape to your needs—perfect for keeping track of projects or personal goals. 5.
