Deceptive by Design: The Deepfake Threat to SMEs

Presented by Aarti Samani, Shreem Growth Partners

Deepfake is no longer just a tech buzzword—it is a real and rising threat. AI-generated deepfakes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting SMEs with scams that exploit trust and limited defences to devastating effect. These attacks can create realistic videos, mimic voices, and deceive even the most cautious, leading to financial loss and reputational harm. This talk uncovers how deepfake fraud operates, why SMEs are particularly vulnerable, and the real-world consequences it poses. Most importantly, it provides practical tools and actionable insights to recognise and defend against these deceptive tactics. Walk away equipped to spot deepfakes before they cost your business and learn how to stay one step ahead of fraudsters in the AI-driven world.
