1Kosmos, the leader in passwordless authentication and high-assurance identity verification, partners with Reality Defender to bring real-time deepfake detection onto its platform. This integration—now available—extends 1Kosmos’ protection beyond traditional presentation attack detection (PAD). It now covers AI-generated visual impersonations. This helps enterprise customers safeguard revenue, customer accounts, and operational processes.
Deepfake-driven fraud is increasing. Synthetic media incidents rose nearly 700% year-over-year, according to TransUnion’s 2024 State of Omnichannel Fraud Report. This trend affects industries like financial services, telecommunications, government, and online marketplaces. Currently, about 20% of all biometric fraud attempts involve deepfakes. This rise is fueled by generative AI tools that are increasingly accessible. These tools can create realistic synthetic faces, voices, and videos.
“Advances in AI-generated impersonations are rewriting the rules of identity assurance and ratcheting up fraud losses,” said Mike Engle, Chief Strategy Officer for 1Kosmos. “By adding Reality Defender as an embedded detection layer, we’re enabling enterprises to verify identity with greater certainty and stop AI-driven impersonation attacks before they result in financial loss, brand damage, or regulatory consequences.”

Ben Colman, CEO of Reality Defender, said, “Deepfake attacks are evolving faster than most organizations can adapt, and detecting them requires specialized, continuously updated models. By embedding our technology directly within the 1Kosmos platform, customers get uncompromised protection against synthetic media within their existing workflows, achieving stronger identity assurance at scale.”
Improved Protection and Operational Efficiency
The integration brings together Reality Defender’s multimodal deepfake detection and 1Kosmos’s PAD features. It analyzes both live and recorded AI-generated images and videos. Key benefits include:
Stronger Fraud Defense: Multimodal detection enhances ISO/IEC 30107-3 PAD Level 2. This helps fight attacks that use synthetic media.
Future-Ready Security: Updated models stay ahead of new deepfake techniques. They help businesses meet changing regulations, like the EU AI Act and ISO 25456.
Seamless Deployment: The technology fits right into current 1Kosmos workflows. It needs no extra licenses, retraining, or infrastructure changes.
Reduced Operational Burden: Early deepfake detection cuts down manual reviews. It improves compliance and boosts privacy protections. With over 75 million users and millions of authentications daily, the 1Kosmos platform reliably detects deepfakes. This gives businesses confidence in secure, smooth digital experiences.
