Deepfakes are no longer science fiction. They are emptying bank accounts, impersonating CEOs, and undermining trust in digital identity. On Industry Insight, iProov Chief Technology Officer Dominic Forrest explains how businesses and governments can fight back. From SingPass logins to global border control, he reveals how biometric authentication and liveness detection are being used to prove a person is genuinely present, and why that matters as over 130 deepfake tools spread online. This is Part 2 of our special series on deepfake fraud, focusing on the technology protecting digital identity.
