Distinguishing between real and fake video is becoming challenging nowadays. The emergence of deepfake technology is due to the artificial intelligence application in a video or image, to portray an action or speech. Some of AI software could be downloaded and used by the public easily without so much of technical knowledge. With the help of social media platform and peoplès frequent participation in sharing a news or information, deepfake can reach millions of people in a short span of time and create a bad impact to the organization or people involved. There is no exception or accurate prediction on the individual or organisation who will be targeted. This paper will discuss on the impact and potential risk to the organization which have been deepfake video victim. A review on how an organization should handle the situation by considering on risk management, business continuity and disaster recovery actions that should be taken will be discussed besides evaluating the defense techniques in improving the organizational security to prevent from the deepfake ransomware. Lastly, a set of guidelines will be reviewed for the employees in information sharing and awareness towards the deepfakes ransomware.
