AI and Misinformation: The Deepfake Threat Escalates (Post-2025)

AI and Misinformation: The Deepfake Threat Escalates (Post-2025)

AI and Misinformation: The Deepfake Threat Escalates (Post-2025) Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced, transforming numerous sectors. However, this technological evolution brings a darker side: the proliferation of sophisticated misinformation, particularly through deepfakes. Post-2025, the threat of AI-generated misinformation has escalated, posing significant challenges to trust, security, and social stability. Understanding Deepfakes Deepfakes are AI-generated media in which a person’s image or likeness is digitally altered to appear as someone else. These manipulated videos and audio recordings can convincingly mimic real individuals, making it difficult to distinguish them from authentic content. The Escalation Post-2025 Increased Sophistication: AI models have become

DevSecOps: Security as an Integral Part of Development (Universal by 2026)

DevSecOps: Security as an Integral Part of Development (Universal by 2026)

DevSecOps: Security as an Integral Part of Development (Universal by 2026) DevSecOps is not just a buzzword; it’s a cultural shift and a set of practices that embeds security into every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Unlike traditional approaches where security is an afterthought, DevSecOps treats security as a shared responsibility from the outset. The projection of universal adoption by 2026 underscores its growing importance in modern software development. What is DevSecOps? DevSecOps stands for Development, Security, and Operations. It automates the integration of security at every phase of the software development lifecycle, from initial design through integration,
