Ransomware is one of the most popular threats in the cyber world. There is an emerging technique for integrating artificial intelligence (AI), deep machine learning, and facial mapping for creating fake videos of people doing and saying something that they have not actually done. Deepfake ransomware is an attack where deepfake technology is being used in ransomware campaigns. Anyone can become the victim or target of this attack, however, this research paper focuses on the impact of deepfake ransomware on organisations. It covers potential risks that an organization might face due to deepfake ransomware attacks such as customer trust, organization reputation, and many other impacts. Besides that, this paper also discusses defence techniques that an organization could consider implementing in protecting the organization against deepfake ransomware attacks. Implementing the defence without awareness will not be effective, hence it is highlighted several times in this paper, that awareness is needed amongst the employees and employers to prevent the organisation from deepfake ransomware. Additionally, it also mentions possible risk management, business continuity, and disaster recovery plans that should be considered by the organization whilst handling the situation of deepfake ransomware attacks.
