KnowBe4 announced a new custom deepfake training experience to defend against advanced cybersecurity threats from deepfakes such as fraudulent video conferences and AI-generated phishing attacks. Deepfakes can be weaponized and utilized for fraud, disinformation campaigns and cause reputational damage across sectors. These types of deepfake attacks are now linked to one in five biometric fraud attempts, with injection attacks increasing 40% year-over-year, according to Entrust's 2026 Identity Fraud Report.
Security incidents related to deepfakes have increased, with 32% of cybersecurity leaders reporting a spike, according to the KnowBe4 The State of Human Risk 2025 report. Deepfake video content is becoming more realistic and harder to discern from reality. Cybersecurity leaders must prepare their organizations for new and emerging threats, taking a proactive approach to their overall protection efforts.
Cybersecurity and IT professionals now have the ability to generate a custom deepfake training experience featuring a leader from their organization to demonstrate how convincing AI-powered social engineering has become and to deliver clear, actionable guidance on how to detect these attacks.
