The rise of deepfakes: Valkyrie advises UHNWs as part of the Tatler Address Book

Specialist security consultancy Valkyrie has advised ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals how to protect their families against the rising trend of “deepfakes”. Speaking to luxury publication Tatler in a recent article, Valkyrie commented on the deepfake trend and how technology, once viewed as entertainment, is being corrupted, posing a significant threat to individuals.

With UHNWs increasingly being targeted and anxious about safeguarding their families, Valkyrie joined other experts to weigh in on the risks and offer advice on how to mitigate them. Recommendations from the contributing experts include promoting media literacy among children, setting digital rules, keeping security software updated and exercising caution when posting online. Furthermore, in the unfortunate event of a child becoming a victim of deepfake-related incidents, it emphasises the importance of providing immediate support to ensure wellbeing and considering legal involvement to halt the spread of harmful content.
