Deepfake Threat Detection
Detecting, Analyzing, and Responding to AI-Driven Synthetic Media Threats
Course Schedules
Training Course Overview
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and deep learning has elevated deepfakes and synthetic media into a critical cybersecurity, reputational, and national security risk. No longer confined to experimental use, deepfakes are now actively deployed in fraud, executive impersonation, social engineering, misinformation campaigns, identity abuse, and coordinated influence operations that exploit trust in digital content and human judgment.
This Deepfake threat detection training course equips organisations and public-sector entities with the knowledge and capability required to move beyond basic awareness and build effective detection, intelligence, and response readiness. Participants gain a structured understanding of how deepfakes are created and weaponised, how risks can be identified early, and how organisations can respond decisively to contain impact, protect credibility, and strengthen long-term resilience.
This Deepfake threat detection training course will highlight:
- The evolving deepfake threat landscape and its impact on cybersecurity, reputation, and national security
- How attackers use synthetic media in fraud, impersonation, and misinformation campaigns
- Practical methods for detecting manipulated audio, video, and image content
- Threat intelligence and incident response approaches specific to deepfake-enabled attacks
- Governance, risk, and preparedness strategies to defend against future synthetic media threats
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this Deepfake threat detection training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques used to generate deepfakes and synthetic media
- Recognise how threat actors exploit deepfakes across fraud, misinformation, and impersonation scenarios
- Develop threat intelligence processes focused on deepfake-enabled risks
- Detect and assess manipulated audio, video, and image content
- Evaluate organisational exposure to deepfake-related threats
- Apply structured incident response approaches to deepfake incidents
- Manage reputational and communication challenges arising from synthetic media attacks
