Today at Oktane, Okta’s annual Identity Conference, we’re thrilled to unveil Nametag Deepfake Defense™, a revolutionary identity verification system that combats AI-powered impersonation.
“Nametag's Deepfake Defense engine is the first scalable solution for remote identity verification that's capable of blocking the AI deepfake attacks plaguing enterprises. This will make it much harder for bad actors to profit from deepfakes.” -- Bruce Schneier, security technologist and cryptography expert

KYC and IDV Tools are Failing Against Deepfakes
Threat actors are increasingly leveraging generative AI and deepfakes to impersonate users and infiltrate enterprises. According to Deloitte, over 50% of C-suite and other executives expect an increase in the number and size of deepfake attacks over the next 12 months. But only ~7% of those executives report using any new technologies to detect deepfakes.
Traditional identity verification methods, including antiquated Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, are proving ineffective at detecting AI-generated images and videos. Researchers are repeatedly showing how they are able to fool KYC verification using deepfake IDs, selfie photos and videos.
Security and IT teams need a better, more effective way to stop deepfake-powered impersonation.
“Make no mistake: we’re facing a global deepfake pandemic that’s spreading ransomware and disinformation. That’s why we’re introducing Deepfake Defense, the only identity verification system that enables organizations to prevent, not just detect, the use of deepfakes.” –– Aaron Painter, CEO of Nametag
