I recently came across an interesting article by BlackBerry titled "Deepfakes and Digital Deception." It painted a vivid picture of the rising threat of deepfakes in the cybersecurity landscape. While deepfakes can be entertaining, their potential for malicious use is what truly caught my attention. The article effectively highlights how deepfakes, fueled by advancements in generative AI, are becoming increasingly sophisticated and accessible. This ease of creation, coupled with the persuasive power of deepfakes, makes them a potent tool for cybercriminals.

The security of supply chains is crucial for protection against cyber threats. Given the global interconnectedness of companies and their suppliers, an end-to-end cyber security strategy is essential. A key element here is the increased exchange of data and cooperation between all parties involved in the supply chain in order to effectively minimise risks together and strengthen resilience to cyber attacks.

DEFCON in Las Vegas is more than just an annual event: it is the ultimate meeting place for the global hacker community and a catalyst where technology enthusiasts drive the wave of innovation in cyber security. This year, my colleague Lukas Sökefeld and I had the honour of speaking at this prestigious conference about our PSIM hack of the market leader in Physical Security Information Management Systems.

Digitalisation has reshaped our world in a way that we could hardly have imagined a few decades ago. It has optimised processes, facilitated communication and given us access to a wealth of information. However, this development has also brought with it new challenges and risks, particularly in the area of cyber security.
