3-Day Instructor-Led Programme
A practitioner programme developing the forensic skills to detect synthetic video, audio, and images using multimodal analysis, specialist tooling, C2PA content provenance standards, and out-of-band verification design. Build the organisational deepfake defences to identify synthetic attacks in real time, implement cryptographic media provenance, and produce a complete deepfake resilience framework.

Voice cloning has crossed the indistinguishable threshold. The number of deepfakes circulating online grew from approximately 500,000 in 2023 to over 8 million in 2025. Deepfake vishing attacks surged by 1,600% in Q1 2025. A few seconds of audio is now sufficient to produce a synthetic voice that deceives both human listeners and most basic detection systems. These capabilities are deployed across nation-state intelligence operations, corporate CEO fraud, and targeted harassment at executive level. Over three mentor-led days, participants examine how synthetic media is produced and deployed at scale, develop forensic detection skills using multimodal analysis covering video, audio, motion, depth, and behavioural signals simultaneously, work through a hands-on lab analysing real and synthetic media samples, and design out-of-band verification protocols and cryptographic media signing workflows using C2PA standards. The programme concludes with a capstone designing a complete deepfake resilience framework for a financial services organisation: detection tooling selection, verification protocol design, staff awareness programme, and incident response playbook. This course is aligned with C2PA content provenance standards, NCSC synthetic media guidance, and financial services deepfake fraud prevention requirements.
Real and synthetic sample video and audio forensic analysis lab, synthetic voice detection practical, C2PA content signing demonstration, out-of-band verification design workshop, and a deepfake resilience framework capstone.
Practitioner-led demonstration of synthetic media production methodology, multimodal forensic analysis approach, and live commentary on the 2025-2026 deepfake fraud and nation-state intelligence landscape.
Multimodal deepfake detection skills, forensic tooling proficiency, out-of-band verification protocol design, C2PA media provenance implementation, and deepfake incident response planning.
