Israel Summit Targets Non-Jews on Campus
The goal of the virtual summit is to broaden Israel’s appeal to those who don’t have a vested interest in the country. By Jan Jaben-Eilon January 27, 2021, 1:19 pm Edit 68 shares

However, one megatrend from the COVID-19 pandemic is sure to influence everything from ecology to economy and healthcare to lifestyle in the coming year: working from home.

CyberArk Labs’ cyber research team leader predicts
deepfake dangers in 2021 due to businesses’ reliance on video communication with remote employees. Deepfakes use sophisticated technology to replace a person in an existing image or video with someone else’s likeness.
“Video and recordings of executives and business leaders are readily available across marketing collateral, social-media channels, and more,” Chako said. “Attackers could coordinate deepfakes from these properties as a strategic follow-on to phishing attempts which will also move away from email to other platforms like chat and collaboration apps to make manipulated communications feel even more authentic.”
“Attackers could also use manipulated videos of executive leaders on social channels to entice customers, employees, partners and more to click on malicious links – creating broader new attack avenues for malicious actors,” Chako said.
