About us
Hello and welcome to the AITP Lehigh Valley Chapter Meetup group!
Who are we?
We are the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP), a non-profit organization of CompTIA. Our mission is to provide our IT-business members with opportunities and resources necessary to develop and advance their IT careers. Our core values encompass integrity, respect, innovation and service. Most of our meetings are opened to non-members/professionals and students. Additional information about AITP can be found at our national website (https://www.aitp.org/).
Why?
Are you looking for insight on how technology can be used to your competitive advantage? Trying to stay abreast of the latest trends and best practices in your industry? Want to know what works, when, and most importantly why? So do we.
What and when?
We strive to acquire great speakers on current topics that would benefit our members and guests. We meet once per month with our season starting in September and ending on the following June. Due to the Holidays, we do not meet in December. The attire for our meetings is business-casual.
Where?
Our home base is located at the Starlight Diner, near the intersection of Route 78 and 100 South. To access our private meeting room, you can either enter the front door or the left side entrance of the restaurant. Depending on the venue, we also meet at Kutztown University, Lehigh Carbon Community College, Lehigh University, DeSales University or at one of our tour sites. Please visit our local chapter website at http://www.lv-aitp.org/ for additional information about our events.

How to detect AI Deepfakes
·OnlineOnlineOur next AITP Lehigh Valley regional meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, virtually via Zoom.
This presentation is open for members and non-members, faculty, staff, and students.
ABSTRACT:
How to detect AI Deepfakes
As generative AI accelerates, deepfakes have evolved from novelty curiosities into a serious security and trust threat for organizations. Modern models can synthesize highly convincing video, audio, and images—making it increasingly difficult to distinguish legitimate communications from manipulated content. For IT teams responsible for safeguarding identity, infrastructure, and information integrity, understanding how deepfakes work is no longer optional.
This session breaks down the technical foundations of deepfake generation and the detection methods available today. We’ll examine model architectures, common manipulation pipelines, and the artifacts they leave behind. Attendees will learn how to identify deepfakes using signal‑level analysis, compression pattern inconsistencies, biometric irregularities, and audio‑visual synchronization checks. We’ll also explore emerging detection tools, metadata‑based verification, and how to integrate deepfake‑resilience into existing security workflows.
By the end of the session, IT professionals will be equipped with practical strategies to evaluate suspicious media, support incident response, and help their organizations stay ahead of rapidly evolving synthetic‑media threats.
