Accops and pi-labs Partner to Protect Facial Authentication from Deepfake Threats Strengthening Facial Authentication against AI-Driven Fraud

Strengthening Facial Authentication against AI-Driven Fraud

25^th March 2025, Pune, India – As deepfake attacks on facial authentication systems become increasingly sophisticated, organisations are facing a growing threat of identity fraud. Research indicates that deepfake-enabled cyber fraud is expected to exceed $40 billion by 2027, underscoring the urgent need for robust identity verification solutions.

To address this challenge, Accops, a leader in cybersecurity and secure workspace solutions, has partnered with pi-labs, a specialist in AI-driven cyber forensics and deepfake detection. The partnership integrates Accops BioAuth, an advanced facial authentication solution, with pi-labs’ AI-powered deepfake detection technology. This ensures that organisations using facial recognition for authentication can detect and block synthetic identity fraud in real time.

Cybercriminals are leveraging AI-generated deepfakes to bypass authentication systems, manipulate vKYC verification, and even deceive HR recruitment processes. Recent data shows that deepfake-related tools on dark web forums increased by 223% between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024, making it easier for fraudsters to create convincing digital identities. With 92% of enterprises reporting financial losses due to deepfake-related fraud, businesses need an advanced solution to protect their identity verification processes.

How the Accops BioAuth & pi-labs Integration Works

The Accops BioAuth facial authentication system now includes an additional layer of deepfake detection powered by pi-labs’ AI-driven “Authentify” engine:

1. Facial Capture & Authentication – Users authenticate using Accops BioAuth’s facial recognition system.
2. Deepfake Detection – pi-labs’ Authentify engine analyses facial inputs in real time to detect AI-generated manipulations.
3. Secure Access Decision – If authentication is genuine, access is granted. If a deepfake attempt is detected, access is blocked, and an alert is triggered.

With support for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, the solution ensures secure authentication across enterprises, financial institutions, and government sectors.

“Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and deepfake technology has created new vulnerabilities in identity security. By integrating pi-labs’ deepfake detection capabilities with Accops BioAuth, we are delivering a solution that ensures foolproof facial authentication for enterprises.”
– Vijender Yadav, Co-founder, CEO & MD, Accops

Addressing Deepfake Threats in Authentication & Verification

With deepfake-powered identity fraud on the rise, organisations must go beyond traditional facial recognition. Fraudsters use AI-generated identities to bypass vKYC (Video KYC) security, making digital onboarding vulnerable. The Accops BioAuth & pi-labs solution ensures only real users pass vKYC verification. Similarly, deepfake avatars are tricking HR teams in virtual hiring. By integrating deepfake detection, organisations can verify candidates and prevent fraudulent hires before onboarding.

Accops and pi-labs are collaborating to tackle deepfake risks across multiple identity verification processes, ensuring that businesses remain protected against AI-powered impersonation threats.

Accops, recently awarded Security Product Company of the Year at the DSCI Excellence Awards 2024, provides secure remote access and digital workspace solutions to over 900 enterprises worldwide. Recognised in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Accops is trusted by banks, governments, and large-scale enterprises for its robust cybersecurity solutions.

A Trusted Name in Cybersecurity & AI Forensics

pi-labs, a global leader in AI-powered cyber forensics, specialises in deepfake detection, blockchain-backed evidence management, and forensic video analytics.
