Pindrop® Pulse: A 2025 TIME Best Invention Is Now Available in Top Conferencing Platforms

Discover how deepfake defense, participant authentication, and location intelligence are defending video meetings in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex by Cisco.

Every day, more than a billion conversations take place on platforms like Zoom1 Meetings, Microsoft Teams,2 and Cisco Webex® Meetings,3 from board meetings and hiring interviews to help desk support and financial transactions.

In these moments when trust matters most, organizations are finding that it has never been more critical to know who’s really on the other side.

Why Pindrop® Pulse is different

Pindrop has long provided authentication for remote interactions at some of the world’s largest banks, insurers, telcos, and healthcare providers. Our customers trust us because, without Pindrop solutions, they can’t be certain who they’re speaking with.

Now, we’re extending that same trust to video conferencing.

Pindrop® Pulse for meetings is now generally available across Zoom, Webex Meetings, and Microsoft Teams. It’s time for enterprises to step in front of the GenAI wave—and defend their organizations from deepfake deception.

How deepfakes attack

The deepfake threat has evolved into a full-blown crisis. With readily available AI tools, fraudsters are attacking enterprises with unprecedented sophistication.

  • Deepfake candidates in virtual interviews
    Recruiters are now facing a new wave of synthetic applicants — fake candidates using AI-generated faces, voices, or even live proxies to impersonate real professionals. In Pindrop's own data, 1 in 6 applicants showed signs of fraud, and 1 in 4 DPRK-linked candidates used a deepfake during live interviews.
  • Fraudulent authorizations in live calls
    Deepfakes have already triggered multimillion-dollar corporate losses—like a finance worker who wired $25 million after attending a video meeting with deepfake versions of his CFO and team.
  • Fake employees and insider threats
    Nation-state actors have begun using synthetic identities to infiltrate corporate meetings, seeking access to IP or internal strategy sessions. Pindrop’s research shows 1 in 343 applicants were linked to North Korea, with many using manipulated video or VPNs to mask their true location.

Meeting today’s threats with tomorrow’s technology

Pindrop® Pulse isn’t just about spotting synthetic faces or voices—it’s about bringing trust back to the conversation.
