There is No Silver Bullet—Learn How the World's Most Trusted Entities Are Outsmarting the Counterfeiters

July 24, 2024

Join us for our premier episode of the Art of the Possible podcast. Digimarc’s Chief Technology Officer Tony Rodriguez and Chief Product Officer Ken Sickles discuss the growing challenge of counterfeiting and how the world’s largest brands, retailers, and financial institutions can and are tackling the issue. There is no silver bullet, but there are solutions to address counterfeiting in the physical world and fraud and misinformation in the digital world.   

When desktop publishing emerged nearly 40 years ago, a motivated person could attempt to fabricate or recreate government-style documents. Still, most people lacked a true knowledge of how to use the publishing tool. Advancements in technology, including generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), have simplified the ability to create professionally crafted digital and physical counterfeit items. Specialized skills are no longer required—thus making a network of security technologies, working together, critical to outsmarting the counterfeiters. 

Don’t miss this episode. There are no silver bullets when fighting counterfeits, but proven solutions and approaches exist. Our experts discuss powerful technologies like digital watermarking and take you through the economics of selecting the best solution to combat various threats. Whether protecting physical or digital assets, a multi-layered approach is your best defense.

There is no silver bullet for fighting counterfeit and deceptive content. You must have a strategy that involves multiple layers of security and different technologies, so when brought together, it creates a harmonious solution to help you stay ahead of the bad actors. – Tony Rodriguez
