Berlin Cybersecurity Social #22 - The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk 2025-12-11 · 16:00 The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk For this month’s Berlin Cybersecurity Social, Jonny Smyth (CTO @ Ceartas) walks us through what’s changing in the deepfake landscape, why the technology has become so accessible, and what this could mean for security, trust, and day-to-day operations. Jonny Smyth is the CTO and Co-Founder of Ceartas, where he works on AI-driven tools that help creators and brands safeguard their content online by spotting misuse, issuing takedowns, and understanding how their work is being copied or manipulated. With experience across engineering and security roles, he focuses on making emerging threats, like deepfakes, easier for organisations to understand and respond to. Deepfakes have evolved fast, and they’re starting to show up in places that matter. This will be a relaxed, high-level session designed for the whole community—technical or not—focused on understanding the shift rather than diving into the weeds. This session is part of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social community’s monthly meetup, where security professionals, leaders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge and connect. So are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further!

Berlin Cybersecurity Social #21 2025-11-20 · 16:00 Are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further! Agenda 5 PM - 6 PM: Welcome & Ice Breakers 6 PM - 6.30 PM: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic Influence 6.30 PM - 8 PM: Networking Topic: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic There is a point in every security career where the work stops being about vulnerability backlogs and tool configuration, and becomes about shaping how an organization understands and manages risk. This talk breaks down that shift: identifying Crown Jewels and irreversible failure modes, defining the security functions that must never degrade, and building secure-by-default paved roads that engineering teams actually use. We’ll cover how to communicate in attacker intent instead of CVE counts, show real risk reduction through a few high-signal KPIs, and earn the trust required to influence architecture, roadmap, and culture. About the speaker: Sheetal Joseph is a cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience leading security strategy and transformation across financial services, digital assets, and other high-impact sectors. She has served as CISO and senior security leader in high-growth, regulated environments, guiding organizations through European regulatory scrutiny while scaling modern, cloud-native security programs. She speaks on security leadership, influence, and the practical realities of driving meaningful change in complex organizations. *Please note: We will be sharing the venue with other tech communities bringing more opportunity for collaboration, but will also be able to have a space for our community too as well as the common networking areas.

Berlin Cybersecurity Social #22 - The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk 2025-12-11 · 16:00

The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk

For this month’s Berlin Cybersecurity Social, Jonny Smyth (CTO @ Ceartas) walks us through what’s changing in the deepfake landscape, why the technology has become so accessible, and what this could mean for security, trust, and day-to-day operations.

Jonny Smyth is the CTO and Co-Founder of Ceartas, where he works on AI-driven tools that help creators and brands safeguard their content online by spotting misuse, issuing takedowns, and understanding how their work is being copied or manipulated. With experience across engineering and security roles, he focuses on making emerging threats, like deepfakes, easier for organisations to understand and respond to. Deepfakes have evolved fast, and they’re starting to show up in places that matter.

This will be a relaxed, high-level session designed for the whole community—technical or not—focused on understanding the shift rather than diving into the weeds.

This session is part of the Berlin Cybersecurity Social community’s monthly meetup, where security professionals, leaders, and enthusiasts come together to share knowledge and connect. So are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further!

17.00 Walk in & ice breakers
18.00 - 18.30 Speaker: Jonny Smyth (CTO @ Ceartas) - The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk

Agenda 5 PM - 6 PM: Welcome & Ice Breakers 6 PM - 6.30 PM: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic Influence 6.30 PM - 8 PM: Networking

Topic: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic

There is a point in every security career where the work stops being about vulnerability backlogs and tool configuration, and becomes about shaping how an organization understands and manages risk. This talk breaks down that shift: identifying Crown Jewels and irreversible failure modes, defining the security functions that must never degrade, and building secure-by-default paved roads that engineering teams actually use. We’ll cover how to communicate in attacker intent instead of CVE counts, show real risk reduction through a few high-signal KPIs, and earn the trust required to influence architecture, roadmap, and culture.

About the speaker:

Sheetal Joseph is a cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience leading security strategy and transformation across financial services, digital assets, and other high-impact sectors. She has served as CISO and senior security leader in high-growth, regulated environments, guiding organizations through European regulatory scrutiny while scaling modern, cloud-native security programs. She speaks on security leadership, influence, and the practical realities of driving meaningful change in complex organizations.

Our crisis of trust calls on allies to champion inclusion & belonging - by Neil Metzler

There is a deep, persistent crisis of trust in the workplace. Trust in organizations, leaders, and management has never been lower. This crisis underscores the challenges and opportunities for inclusion and belonging at work. Allies in particular have a critical role to play. Allies who seize the opportunity will succeed and emerge as top performing leaders. They will prove themselves capable of managing through change, driving innovation and navigating uncertainty. Leaders who fail to invest in I&B to nurture and grow trust at work will become expendable and sidelined in role.

Take this opportunity to amplify your voice, showcase your expertise, and step confidently into your role as a data leader. We look forward to seeing you on 15 May!
