Mr. Masongsong’s presentation focused on the development of data analytics technology, its utility in addressing recent security cases, and the projected future of the data analytics industry. The subsequent roundtable discussion centred around a case study on deep fakes and their prevalence throughout social media. Thereafter, audience members discussed the security implications of deep fake technology and ways to address the problem within online spaces.
