Tannya Jajal on the Security Middle East Conference

Tannya Jajal is an Author, Speaker and a Technologist currently working with VMWare.

She is an expert on Artificial Intelligence, understanding both the dangers and opportunities presented by this new technology, at the Security Middle East Conference, Tannya Jajal will be looking at the dangers presented by Artificial Intelligence – especially when it is combined with Deepfake Technology.

A persons entire persona can be replicated online, their facial image, voice and the quirks that define them. This replication can then be made to say anything at all, a persons entire reputation can be controlled by a single threat actor on the internet. On the day of the conference, Tannya Jajal will be looking at ways individuals can combat this and what we must expect from deepfakes in the future.

Speaking on the importance of the conference itself, Tannya Jajal stated:

“The Security Middle East Conference will be one of its kind in the region, providing an opportunity for all stakeholders in the field of security to have nuanced, futuristic and productive discussions about the benefits, threats, and functions of cybersecurity within the region. I am honoured and excited to be able to contribute to this important and prevalent conversation that is absolutely vital during the current era of rapid technological change.”
