Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a futuristic concept to a powerful weapon in the wrong hands. Today, AI-based attacks are no longer just a theoretical threat, they are occurring across industries and outperforming traditional defense mechanisms.
However, the solution is not futuristic. It turns out that a well-designed identity security platform can provide protection against AI impersonation fraud. Read more about how a secure-by-design identity platform eliminates AI deepfake fraud and serves as a critical component of a new era of cyber defense.
The growing threat of AI impersonation fraud
Recent incidents highlight the alarming potential for AI-powered fraud.
These cases highlight important truths. Attackers have and will continue to exploit every tool at their disposal to infiltrate organizations, and AI greatly simplifies that effort while reducing costs.
Limitations of current solutions
While the cybersecurity industry has responded with increased deepfake detection tools and end-user training, these approaches are fundamentally flawed.
AI arms race: Deepfake detection and deepfake generators are locked in a perpetual struggle as one model trains the other, with neither side able to maintain a lasting advantage Stochastic Detection: Detection solutions provide probabilistic protection and leave room for error End-user burden: The vigilance of relying users places unrealistic expectations on identifying increasingly sophisticated deceptions. Give to individuals.
Paradigm shift: AI defense as an extension of identity security
AI impersonation fraud is another manifestation of identity security vulnerabilities. In these attacks, malicious actors must first compromise the identity of legitimate users without being detected in order to convincingly extort victims in order to obtain financial gain or political influence. there is.
While many AI detection tools make a best guess when identifying deepfakes, secure-by-design identity platforms ensure that users are who they say they are and are using trusted, compliant devices. It can be encrypted and guaranteed.
Key benefits of a secure-by-design identity platform include:
Strong identity assurance: Phishable credentials make it easier for malicious attackers to impersonate legitimate users. Beyond Identity uses device-bound passkeys to authenticate users with only phishing-resistant credentials, eliminating identity-based attacks. Device security compliance: Only recognized devices that pass security checks are allowed access to company resources, including video conferencing and other collaboration tools. Comprehensive risk assessment: Using real-time user and device risk signals captured by our platform, as well as risk signals collected from other security tools. You can make accurate and adaptive access decisions within your environment.
Introducing RealityCheck by Beyond Identity
Beyond Identity’s RealityCheck extends our securely designed identity platform to provide protection against AI deepfake fraud. This feature provides strong identity assurance, device security compliance, comprehensive risk assessment, and visual proof of identity and device security within video conferencing and communication tools.
Ensuring identity and device security is a necessary first step to successfully prevent AI deepfake fraud. The second step is to use tamper-proof visual badges to communicate that guarantee to end users so they can collaborate with the right people with confidence. This is what RealityCheck offers. RealityCheck currently integrates with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, with additional integrations with Slack and email coming soon.
Are you ready to protect your organization from AI deepfake fraud?
A secure-by-design identity platform is defined by the ability to eradicate identity risk from the root, providing strong protection against current and emerging threats such as MFA bypass, phishing, and AI impersonation fraud.
RealityCheck is part of Beyond Identity’s Secure Access Platform, the only IAM platform designed to eliminate identity attacks. As the identity-based threat landscape changes, it has become imperative to extend core security guarantees to defend against AI impersonation attacks.
Beyond Identity’s RealityCheck lets you protect your video conferencing tools with a securely designed identity foundation and visual tamper-proof certificates. To see first-hand how our solution works, contact us for a personalized demo.
