Defending Against Deepfakes with Identity-First Security
Hosted by Ping Identity
Deepfake technology is now a frontline threat, enabling impersonation attacks that can bypass traditional defenses and manipulate trust. From executive impersonation to fraudulent account access, AI-generated media is a growing vector for identity fraud and social engineering. To stay ahead, organizations must integrate digital identity, verification, and risk-aware authentication into their security posture. Strengthening identity-first security is essential to restoring digital trust and mitigating deepfake threats.
Join this Town Hall to discuss:
- Recognizing deepfakes as a major identity and trust threat
- Integrating digital identity and risk-aware authentication
- Restoring trust with identity-first security strategies
