As AI deepfakes become more convincing and accessible, the line between real and synthetic interactions is rapidly blurring. Pindrop’s Amit Gupta joined Ashish Chotai at WebexOne 2025 to discuss how organizations can strengthen trust in every interaction, and how new advances in deepfake detection for meetings are changing the game.
Amit explains that today, it takes only three seconds of speech to clone a voice and just one image to generate a lifelike video. The result is a wave of sophisticated fraud: deepfake activity has surged 354% across enterprises, and 1 in 600 calls to contact centers now comes from a bad actor.1
Attacks beyond voice channels
Fraudsters are now targeting video collaboration tools—using synthetic voices and faces to carry out scams, infiltrate hiring pipelines, and impersonate executives. To confront these emerging threats, Pindrop has introduced Pindrop® Pulse for meetings, now integrated with Cisco Webex®2 meetings. This innovation brings deepfake detection for meetings, including audio and video analysis, participant authentication, and geolocation information directly into the Webex interface. It helps teams collaborate confidently, knowing their digital interactions are more secure.
This new solution builds on the proven success of Pindrop® Technology in the Webex contact center, extending its protection to the broader world of virtual meetings.
Watch the full interview to see how Pindrop® Pulse for meetings helps organizations stay one step ahead of AI-driven threats and build lasting digital trust.
