Advances in artificial intelligence have made highly realistic deepfakes easier to produce, posing serious risks to identity security. Criminals are now able to mimic speech patterns, facial expressions and body language using large audio and video datasets.
One major concern is voice verification, particularly in banking call centres. While layered authentication combining voice, SMS and email verification is common, experts stress the need for biometric systems with strong liveness detection that cannot be easily spoofed.
Nearly half of organisations in the Asia-Pacific region struggle to balance security requirements with user experience, while almost all face challenges with identity verification.
Deepfake detection has become increasingly difficult as the technology improves. Criminals can now replicate subtle gestures, emotions and voice tones, making fake content hard to distinguish from real material.
Deepfakes
Security professionals advise organisations to adopt Identity Threat Detection and Response systems alongside decentralised identity practices. Businesses are also encouraged to use multi-factor authentication, passwordless verification, watermarking of trusted content and regular employee awareness training.
Individuals and organisations are urged to remain vigilant, verify suspicious communications through trusted channels and report harmful deepfakes to authorities.
