Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technologies has created numerous opportunities for human societies, but it has also introduced complex challenges. One of the most significant challenges is deepfake technology, which leverages deep learning algorithms to enable highly realistic manipulation of images, videos, and audio. While this technology offers positive applications in fields such as cinema and advertising, it poses a serious threat to national and societal security. Deepfakes can undermine public trust, incite social unrest, and weaken intelligence and security institutions. This article aims to examine the challenges posed by deepfake technology in intelligence and security operations and to propose strategies for mitigating its risks. The findings suggest that the development of intelligent detection tools, enhancing media literacy, and designing advanced authentication systems can play a pivotal role in reducing deepfake-related threats. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for leveraging emerging technologies to strengthen intelligence and operational security.
