Our cover feature on Deepfake crime proposes this is a real and present danger for businesses, as well as to governments with heightened political tensions. Last year, it cost one bank alone $35 million in a single scam. With Deepfake technology becoming more sophisticated – and readily available to criminals – we need to see the technology as a current threat and not a future concern. Also in this edition, Jack Lindsay proposes the open source community is a great risk following the Log4j project vulnerability found in a critical Java ecosystem package and Vinoth Venkatesan writes a series of articles, including concerns around the delays in notifications of the Log4j vulnerability.
We also include some of the more notable ‘Movers and Shakers’ and continue to take a deep dive into the cybersecurity domain, network security, cloud security and throughout we have links through to our Tech & Sec Weekly Series and the latest Cyber Security Weekly podcasts. Another edition with a lot to unpack.
