Deepfake Technology and the Importance of adding Spoof Detection in your Voice Biometric system
Deepfake technology has become a growing concern in recent years. This technology uses artificial intelligence to create manipulated images, videos, or audio that can be difficult to distinguish from real thing. Deepfakes can be used for malicious purposes, such as creating fake news or impersonating individuals for fraud or extortion.
Deepfakes can be used by bad actors to attack organisations and their customers for example a bad actor could use a deepfake of a senior executive’s voice to trick an employee into processing a fraudulent transaction or enabling an unauthorised access to systems. This risk highlights the importance of using strong authentication methods that are resistant to deepfake attacks.
Voice biometrics is both a potential weak point and a defence against deepfake attacks that use synthetic voice. Whilst some legacy voice biometric systems may allow a deep fake to access a system or a user’s account details voice biometrics solutions like Auraya's EVA, enable organisations to protect themselves against deepfake attacks and ensure that only authorized users are granted access to their systems and data.
EVA offers several advanced features that make it highly effective at detecting and preventing deepfake attacks. EVA uses its patented AI to compare a voice to synthetic voice models to ensure that the voice being authenticated belongs to a real person and is not a recording or a deepfake. This ensures that only authorized users are granted access to systems and applications.
If your legacy voice biometric system doesn’t reliably detect Synthetic Voice attacks, then Auraya offers EVA Forensic which can listen to every call to reliably detect known Synthetic Voice generators and protect systems and user accounts. EVA Forensics can be delivered as a turn on and consume SaaS service from small to very large organisations or in a downloaded solution for your on premise or public cloud service.
In addition to providing strong security against deepfakes, voice biometrics can also improve the user experience. With EVA, users can authenticate themselves quickly and easily without the need to remember passwords or answer security questions. This can lead to a more streamlined and efficient user experience, which can improve customer satisfaction and retention.
