Deepfake defense cannot stop at identifying what looks suspicious. It needs to disrupt the infrastructure that makes deception scalable.

In CISO Intelligence, iProov Founder and CEO Andrew Bud comments on the UK’s new National Centre for Information Defence and the growing challenge of AI-enabled disinformation.

As deepfakes become harder to detect by eye, Andrew highlights a critical question for security leaders: how do we verify that the people, accounts, and communications we interact with online are genuine?

For CISOs, that means thinking beyond reactive detection and strengthening the identity and trust controls that sit underneath digital interactions.

Your workforce has valid credentials. But is the right human behind them?

Organizations have invested heavily in Zero Trust, SSO, MFA and passkeys. Yet identity attacks continue to find ways through.

The challenge? A valid credential can verify access. It doesn’t always prove who is actually behind it.
Join Joe Palmer, Chief Innovation Officer at iProov, for an upcoming webinar hosted by The SASIG, guest chaired by Olivia Bosch, exploring how organizations can strengthen identity assurance across the workforce lifecycle.

From hiring and onboarding to privileged access and account recovery, we’ll look at where biometric identity assurance can help close the gap between the right credential and the right human.

As AI makes deception easier to scale, digital resilience needs to evolve with it.

In Tech Digest, iProov Founder and CEO Andrew Bud shares his perspective on the UK’s new National Centre for Information Defence and the growing challenge of AI-enabled disinformation and deepfakes.

Andrew highlights why relying on people or platforms to spot synthetic content after the fact is no longer enough. Stronger defenses will increasingly depend on the ability to establish whether the people, accounts, and digital interactions we trust are genuine.

As he puts it: “If AI is industrialising deception, our response needs to be able to tell genuine from synthetic.”

As AI agents gain more autonomy, humans still need the final say when it matters.

Daily Tribune highlights iProov’s Human Approval and Presence Specification, HAPS, an experimental framework designed to help organizations verify that a human approved a specific action before an AI agent is allowed to carry it out.

The key distinction is simple: permission to access a system does not necessarily mean a human intended or approved every action an agent takes.

HAPS is designed for those higher-risk moments, where organizations may want stronger evidence of human presence and approval before an action proceeds.

You shouldn’t have to choose between control and recoverability.

Bron has launched FaceScan, a wallet recovery feature powered by iProov’s Dynamic Liveness™.

Users who lose access to their passkeys or devices can now recover access to their wallet with a single face scan that confirms their “Genuine Presence™” and that they are the same person who set up the account.

FaceScan provides an easy way to recover access that doesn’t rely on a seed phrase or someone else being available, while users retain sole control of their digital assets.

It sits alongside Bron’s existing Guardian recovery. Users can set up either, or both, and choose the method that best suits them.

New figures from Report Fraud show the growing cost of social media and email account hacking, as criminals exploit trusted identities to deceive friends, families and customers.

Speaking to Intelligent CISO, iProov Founder and CEO Andrew Bud highlights two routes fraudsters can exploit: creating convincing impersonator accounts, or taking over genuine accounts through compromised recovery processes.

Both point to the same challenge: how do you prove the person behind an account is really who they claim to be? As deepfake tools make impersonation increasingly accessible, strong, deepfake-resistant identity verification can play an important role in protecting trusted digital interactions.

An AI agent can stay within its permissions and still do something you never intended.

That is the governance gap explored by Insider PH in its latest coverage of iProov’s Human Approval and Presence Specification, HAPS.

HAPS is designed for the moments where existing access rights are not enough. When an action is sensitive or high-risk, the framework allows the receiving system to pause it, obtain evidence of genuine human presence and approval, and bind that approval to the exact action before it proceeds.

And because this challenge extends far beyond any one organization, HAPS has been published openly on GitHub for scrutiny, feedback, and independent implementation.

As AI agents gain more autonomy, maintaining a verifiable link back to human intent will become increasingly important.

As AI agents gain the ability to act autonomously across digital services, organizations face a growing governance problem: an agent may have legitimate access credentials while still taking an action its human user never specifically intended or approved.

The next phase of deepfake defense is not just detecting what is fake. It is establishing what is genuine.

In Identity Week, iProov Founder and CEO Andrew Bud shares his perspective on the UK’s new National Centre for Information Defence and the challenge of responding to increasingly scalable AI-enabled deception.

As synthetic content becomes harder to identify by sight alone, Andrew highlights a broader question for digital resilience: how do we establish that the people, accounts, and communications we interact with online are authentic?

That means moving beyond reactive detection and strengthening the infrastructure for identity verification, deepfake detection, and trusted digital interactions.

“If AI is industrialising deception, our response needs to be able to tell genuine from synthetic.”

In DIGIT, iProov Founder and CEO Andrew Bud comments on the UK’s new National Centre for Information Defence and the growing challenge of AI-enabled disinformation.

As deepfakes become more sophisticated and scalable, simply spotting fake content after the fact will not be enough. Andrew argues that identity verification and deepfake detection need to become part of the infrastructure used to establish whether the people, accounts, and digital interactions we engage with are genuine.

A timely look at what stronger digital resilience needs to address as AI-driven deception evolves.
