Deepfakes are no longer the stuff of sci-fi. They’re here, and they’re targeting private capital firms. In this episode, Alice Murray is joined by Travis DeForge, Director of Cybersecurity at Abacus Group, to explore how generative AI is supercharging social engineering attacks and what fund managers can do to defend themselves. What we cover: What deepfakes are, and why private equity and venture firms are in the firing line Real-world attack scenarios; from cloned CTO voices to successful wire fraud cases How Abacus simulates deepfake attacks to test firms’ defences The biggest blind spots and bad habits when it comes to cyber risk Practical steps CFOs and COOs can take today to protect their firms Why no firm is too small to be targeted If you’re a finance or operations leader in private markets, this is essential listening for understanding how fast-moving AI threats are changing the risk landscape, and crucially, how to stay ahead of them.
