The Promise of Biometric Authentication Versus the Threat of Deepfakes
Deepfakes are rapidly evolving, posing serious threats to hiring, identity verification, and online security. These AI-generated videos and voices can fool both humans and machines, exposing vulnerabilities in biometric systems through presentation and injection attacks. With deepfakes now accessible to non-experts, organizations must adopt advanced defenses like liveness detection, credential verification, and AI-powered monitoring. Biometric authentication, especially when combined with passive and active liveness checks and verified credentials, offers a more secure alternative to passwords. This is critical for onboarding, fraud prevention, and maintaining trust in digital interactions.
