In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, Erika and Jax discuss the rapidly evolving world of AI-powered cyber threats with Aaron Painter, CEO of Nametag Inc. and a deepfake expert. With cybercriminals leveraging AI to clone voices and fabricate identities, businesses face a growing threat from social engineering attacks.

Aaron shares insights on how his company is using AI and machine learning to fight back against deepfake attacks—especially in healthcare, IT, and insurance sectors, where identity fraud is skyrocketing. We break down what deepfakes are, how they impact individuals and organizations, and why Gartner predicts that by 2026, nearly one-third of enterprises will consider identity verification unreliable due to AI-generated deepfakes.

We also take a step back to discuss leadership in a digital age—drawing from Aaron’s experiences as a former Microsoft VP in China, CEO of Cloudreach in London, and author of Loyal—a leadership guide on building trust and long-term relationships.

Tune in to hear:
✅ The real dangers of deepfake technology and how AI is reshaping cybersecurity
✅ How threat actors are using AI to deceive helpdesk agents and bypass authentication
✅ Why identity verification is under attack and how Nametag is staying ahead of evolving threats
✅ Leadership lessons from Aaron’s global experience and tips on earning trust and loyalty in the workplace
