Issue From cybersecurity to disinformation security: a new digital trust pact

Summary

Deloitte calls for organisations to expand from cybersecurity to what it terms disinformation security. As questions grow about who authored work, who acted and whose judgment shaped it, protecting systems from outside attack is no longer sufficient. Organisations must also defend the integrity of data about workers against manipulation and fabrication. Deloitte frames this as a new digital trust pact built on several practices. These include AI lineage mapping to track data origins, verifiable credentials such as blockchain-based skill records, AI risk simulations and red-teaming, and continuous identity checks for candidates. The goal is to preserve authenticity in work and workforce data.
