How can an organization BEST protect itself from payment diversions caused by deepfake attacks impersonating...

AAISM’s risk management framework stresses that the most effective defense against deepfake-enabled fraud, such as payment diversion, is resilient payment approval processes. This includes multi-step verification, segregation of duties, and independent confirmations for high-value transactions. Employee training, policies, or limiting payment frequency may reduce exposure, but they cannot guarantee prevention. Only process-based controls enforce structural safeguards that prevent fraudulent instructions from being executed, even if a deepfake impersonation attempt is successful.
