Transforming healthcare through innovations in extreme environments.

Humans operating in extreme environments often conduct their operations at the edges of the limits of human performance. Sometimes, they are required to push these limits to previously unattained levels. As a result, their margins for error in execution are much smaller than that found in the general public. These same small margins for error that impact execution may also impact risk, safety, health, and even survival. Thus, humans operating in extreme environments have a need for greater refinement in their preparation, training, fitness, and medical care.

Group-IB has released a fascinating case investigation on deep fake fraud.

Group-IB’s Fraud Protection team published a report on how threat actors use deepfake technology to bypass biometric security in financial institutions, including facial recognition and liveness detection. It also details how they recently assisted a major Indonesian financial institution in identifying over 1,100 deepfake fraud attempts.

Criminals used AI-generated deepfake photos to bypass the institutions digital KYC process. Fraudsters are increasingly using deepfake technology to bypass biometric security systems in financial institutions. These criminals are using AI-altered deepfake images, emulators, app cloning, and even virtual cameras to breach multiple layers of security.

We speak with Yuan Huang, Group-IB’s Cyber Fraud Analyst for APAC and discuss the significant social and financial impact of deepfake fraud, with recent losses in Indonesia alone estimated at $138.5 million USD.

The advanced deepfake techniques include app cloning, AI-powered face-swapping and virtual camera applications and we discuss the growing challenges financial institutions face in detecting AI-driven deepfakes and proactive measures financial institutions must take to mitigate risks caused by evolving deepfake technology.

We speak with Paul Tyrer, Global VP of IT Channel Ecosystem, Schneider Electric about the impact of AI on Data Centers in the coming years. Generative AI is expected to grow by US$158.6 billion by 2028, according to #canalys

The growth of AI presents data center companies with opportunities to innovate, expand their service offerings, and cater to the evolving needs of AI-driven applications and enterprises. However, it also comes at a cost. Global data center capacity is projected to grow by over 120 GW by 2030, fuelled by AI demand, with energy consumption expected to double to ~1,400 TWh, compared to 1% of today's total. This growth outpaces current power demand trends, posing capacity and sustainability challenges. It requires data center companies to adapt in order to meet the evolving power needs of AI-driven applications effectively and sustainably.
