Isaca AAISM Exam - Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Posted by Eun on Nov 24, 2025 at 07:54 AM

How can an organization BEST protect itself from payment diversions caused by deepfake attacks impersonating management?

Suggested Answer: D

AAISM's risk management framework stresses that the most effective defense against deepfake-enabled fraud, such as payment diversion, is resilient payment approval processes. This includes multi-step verification, segregation of duties, and independent confirmations for high-value transactions. Employee training, policies, or limiting payment frequency may reduce exposure, but they cannot guarantee prevention. Only process-based controls enforce structural safeguards that prevent fraudulent instructions from being executed, even if a deepfake impersonation attempt is successful.

D) Definitely the way to go. Robust approval processes are key to preventing payment diversions.
PH

C) A security policy on deepfakes is important, but it needs to be backed up by actual security measures.
EM
Emilio 8 months ago
Haha, B) Mandate payments once a week? That's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound!
MA
Mary 8 months ago
A) Mandatory deepfake detection training is a good start, but it's not enough on its own.
DE
Deonna 8 months ago
D) Implement resilient payment approval processes. This is the best way to protect against deepfake attacks.

Mandating weekly payments sounds a bit too restrictive. I feel like it could slow down operations without really addressing the deepfake issue.
BE
Beatriz 9 months ago
I remember a practice question about payment fraud, and I think issuing a security policy could be helpful, but it might not be enough on its own.
CA
Caprice 9 months ago
I'm not sure about the effectiveness of just training employees on deepfake detection. It seems like they could still fall for a convincing video.
NA
Naomi 9 months ago
Option D is the way to go. Strengthening the payment approval workflow is key - things like requiring multiple approvals, verifying identities through multiple channels, and having a clear escalation process. That's going to be the most effective defense against these kinds of attacks.
LU
Luisa 9 months ago
I'm leaning towards B. Limiting payments to once a week could really reduce the window of opportunity for a deepfake attack. Plus, it's a simple policy change that's easy to implement. The other options seem more complex.
LE
Leota 9 months ago
Definitely go with option D. Implementing a robust payment approval system with multiple layers of verification is the surest way to prevent diversions, even if a deepfake slips through. The other options are good but not as comprehensive.
TO
Tomas 10 months ago
I think A is crucial. Training helps everyone stay alert.
VI
Vi 10 months ago
I think option D makes the most sense since having robust approval processes could help catch any suspicious requests.
TI

C is a good start, but it needs to be more than just a policy.
MA
Marguerita 10 months ago
D is the best option. Strong processes can prevent fraud effectively.
GA
Gary 11 months ago
I'm a bit confused by the options. Requiring training and issuing a policy seem like good first steps, but I'm not sure they're the "best" approach. Maybe the payment approval process is the way to go?
MU
Murray 11 months ago
Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the key is to focus on the "best" part of the question - we need to find the most effective solution to protect against deepfake attacks.

C is important too. A clear policy sets the standard for everyone.
