Stop Deepfake and Social Engineering Calls with iVALT

Thursday, April 18, 2024

PLEASANTON, Calif., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Not being able to verify the identity of who you are talking to can cost you. The $25M video call deepfake in Hong Kong, the socially engineered ransomware attacks on MGM and the theft of $16M from baseball great Shohei Ohtani are just three recent examples of how pervasive and damaging these problems are. The core issue is that there is no trusted way to verify the identity of the person on the other end of a phone call. Even with significant investment in security, businesses are effectively delegating cyberattack risk assessment to their help-desk workers, participants on company video calls, or entry-level bank employees — and that's not right or effective.

Key Points: 
  • iVALT could have prevented all three of these attacks in one click.
  • With five patents and ten pending, iVALT is uniquely positioned to provide enterprises with the strongest level of caller identity verification for deepfake and social engineering call protection and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) checks.
  • iVALT enables an innovative extension to the enterprise Zero Trust Security Model ("trust nothing, verify everything").
  • It is time to add phone calls to this proven enterprise strategy as a standard communications policy.
