Course Overview

Deepfake Audio And Video Security examines how artificial intelligence creates realistic fake audio and video. It explains how deepfake audio and video are misused in workplaces.

This course describes what deepfakes are, how they are created, and why they are becoming more convincing. It explores how criminals use deepfake audio and video for fraud, including executive impersonation, payment requests, and deceptive video calls.

The content outlines common sources of material used to create deepfakes, such as social media, presentations, and recorded messages. It highlights practical signs that may indicate deepfake content, including visual inconsistencies, unnatural voice patterns, and unusual behaviour during live calls.

The course emphasises the importance of verification through separate communication channels when requests are unexpected or urgent. It also explains organisational practices such as identity checks, agreed verification questions, and reporting suspicious content to security teams.

Examples are set in realistic organisational contexts to reflect emerging risks faced by modern workplaces.
