Nametag has launched Deepfake Defense, a new feature designed to detect and block deepfake attacks using generative AI technologies. Announced at the Oktane conference, this capability will integrate with identity management platforms, starting with Okta. Deepfake Defense uses cryptographic attestation from Apple and Google to ensure that data comes from authenticated software on secure devices, enhancing the reliability of identity verification.
The technology also employs adaptive document verification to detect digitally manipulated files, while Spatial Selfie creates a 3D image of a person using biometrics and sensor data to verify their likeness against a 2D ID, like a driver’s license. This aims to prevent cybercriminals from using masks or altered images to bypass security systems.
Nametag’s CEO, Aaron Painter, emphasized that the new technology targets two main types of deepfake attacks: those involving fraudulent documents and fake representations of individuals. With generative AI posing an increasing risk, Nametag’s solution is part of a broader effort to counter AI-driven cyberattacks that could result in significant fraud losses, estimated to reach billions by 2029.
This move comes amid rising concerns about identity fraud. A recent AuthenticID report showed a 73 percent rise in fraudulent transactions, largely driven by AI threats like deepfakes and injection attacks, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures in the digital age.
