Alliance - A union formed for mutual benefit

ALLIANCES PROJECT: CYBER CULTURE

WHY?

As the Alliances communities have access to a breadth of professionals who are up to speed on the reality of servicing and organisation with the upkeep of cyber culture as a cyber professional or as part of a service stack of cyber awareness and culture outsourced options for corporate.

This Alliances Project  is a cyber culture initiative led by a working group of cyber experts who will aim to improve cybersecurity practices and increase their resilience in a number of ways.

Knowledge Sharing: Professionals with varying backgrounds and specialties can exchange experiences and knowledge in a working group. Individuals may not have come up with these creative ideas or insights on their own, but collective intelligence may.

Cross-disciplinary Collaboration: The field of cybersecurity is multidisciplinary and encompasses several domains, including technology, law, ethics, and psychology. Professionals from many disciplines can engage in a working group, promoting a complete and all-encompassing approach to cybersecurity concerns.

Skill enhancement: Collaborating in a group environment offers chances for people to improve their abilities. Professionals can share knowledge with one another, experience new technology, and have a greater comprehension of new risks and

Problem-solving: Cybersecurity issues are intricate and constantly changing. Diverse professional backgrounds can contribute unique viewpoints to problem-solving, increasing the likelihood of creating strong, long-lasting defences against cyberthreats.

Networking opportunities: Working together in a group setting offers networking opportunities that can result in beneficial professional relationships. These relationships may prove advantageous for future project collaboration, information exchange, and professional advancement.

Rapid response capability: A collaborating group with good connections can react to a cyber issue more quickly. The team can swiftly gather resources, exchange data, and plan actions to lessen the effects of an attack and make repairs.

Standardization and best practices: The creation of best practices and industry standards can be aided by a working group. Professionals can create guidelines and recommendations that can be broadly used to improve cybersecurity by combining their collective expertise.

Education and training: Additionally, the group might act as a venue for member education and training. Professionals are able to keep current on the newest cybersecurity tools, trends, and practices thanks to this environment of continuous learning.

Ethical considerations: By discussing and creating ethical standards, the working group promotes responsible and legal behaviour by ensuring that cybersecurity experts are aware of and follow ethical rules in their work.

Public awareness: The working group can support public awareness campaigns about cybersecurity challenges by working together on joint projects, which will inform the general public about the significance of online safety and responsible cyber behaviour.

The Cyber Culture project has been created to harness the expertise and knowledge of the community members that have dealt with or are currently dealing with from an online workforce or ambitiously, populations. We will be focusing on:

  • Learning from each others successes & failures
  • Understanding the risks
  • Learning and sharing best practices within cybersecurity and outside of the siloed business division
  • Understanding the skills required and demand for them
  • How to improve organisational culture
  • Technology service providers efficacy and comparison. Inclusive of multi-vendor challenges
  • Development of frameworks and guides consolidating and applying to where is most relevant
  • TTX consolidation and creation

These will be focused while also considering the context behind the verticals and geolocations of the conversations.

Agenda

Date: 5th of December

Time: 12:00pm – GMT

Interactive Session Format:

1-hour Webinar.  We will follow Chatham House Rules in an interactive session where questions will be welcome from both the attendees and the Alliances team.

Overview

In this interactive session, we’ll explore the rapidly evolving world of deepfakes and voice cloning, examining how these technologies are created, the real-world risks they pose, and why they matter to cybersecurity professionals. We’ll also delve into the broader psychological and societal implications—especially for younger audiences—and discuss practical steps for detection and defense.

Session Outline

  1. Introduction to Deepfakes
    • Definition: What are deepfakes, and how are they generated?
    • Why They Matter: The growing relevance of manipulated media in cybersecurity and beyond.
  2. Real Examples & Use Cases
    • Showcasing actual deepfakes from various industries—both malicious and benign.
    • Highlighting recent voice cloning incidents that reveal vulnerabilities in authentication systems.
  3. Voice Cloning 101
    • Explanation: How synthetic voices are produced and leveraged.
    • Threat Landscape: How adversaries use voice cloning to breach security and impersonate individuals.
  4. Implications for Cybersecurity
    • Risk Assessment: Why deepfakes and voice cloning challenge traditional authentication protocols.
    • The “Human Factor”: How social engineering leverages manipulated audio/video.
  5. Broader Impact
    • Ethical and Psychological Dimensions: How deepfake technology can affect public discourse, trust, and children’s understanding of reality.
    • Regulatory and Social Consequences: How industries and governments are (or aren’t) responding.
  6. Interactive Assignment
    • Multi-Faceted “Challenges”: Participants can choose technical, psychological, or industry-focused tasks—ensuring inclusivity regardless of background.
    • Goal: Spark discussion, deepen understanding, and compile diverse perspectives on the issue.
  7. Looking Ahead to Next Year
    • Shared Compilation: We’ll gather participant submissions and create a community-driven resource.
    • Follow-Up Session: Volunteers may join as guests to share lessons learned, new findings, and continued challenges in deepfake and voice cloning detection.
    • Ongoing Engagement: Building a knowledge base for authentication solutions that adapt to emerging threats.

Why Attend?

  • Stay Informed: Understand the latest deepfake and voice cloning trends and threats.
  • Enhance Security: Learn how attackers exploit these technologies—and how to defend against them.
  • Collaborate & Contribute: Participate in open “challenges” and shape next year’s follow-up session by sharing your unique insights, whether technical or non-technical.
  • Influence the Future: Help define evolving best practices around authentication, misinformation, and digital trust.

By incorporating practical examples, hands-on challenges, and a long-term engagement plan, this webinar will equip participants with both a foundational understanding of deepfake technology and tangible ways to address these threats—now and in the years to come.
