Detailed Analysis
The rise of sophisticated disinformation campaigns, fueled by AI-generated content and malicious actors, poses a significant threat to organizations and individuals. Disinformation security focuses on developing and implementing measures to identify and mitigate the spread of false or misleading information. "Disinformation security is designed to help identify what can be trusted." This includes technologies for deepfake detection, impersonation prevention, and reputation protection. The urgency of this trend is underscored by Gartner's prediction that "by 2028, 50% of enterprises will adopt products, services or features specifically to address disinformation security use cases, up from less than 5% in 2024."
