IRONSCALES, the leading AI-powered email security platform trusted by more than 15,000 organizations worldwide, announced the launch of the industry’s first and only deepfake protection specifically designed for enterprise email security. This pioneering technology will debut at the RSA Conference 2025, taking place April 28 through May 1 in San Francisco, where attendees will witness live demonstrations highlighting the solution’s ability to detect and neutralize deepfake threats as they occur.

The introduction of this innovation comes at a time when deepfake-fueled cyberattacks are accelerating at an alarming rate. From 2022 to 2023, deepfake-driven attacks targeting private enterprises surged by an astounding 1,000% globally, with North America alone experiencing a 1,740% increase. Despite ongoing investments in employee training and internal policies, most organizations still lack the advanced tools needed to defend against this new wave of deception.

A recent IRONSCALES study revealed a significant shortfall in traditional email security infrastructure. Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) are failing to prevent an average of 67.5 phishing emails per 100 mailboxes each month, underscoring the urgent need for a more robust, intelligent solution.

The rise of these threats has heightened concern among cybersecurity professionals. In a recent survey conducted by IRONSCALES, over 94% of IT leaders voiced apprehension about the growing risks posed by deepfakes, with 43% identifying deepfake defense as their top security priority over the next 12 to 18 months.

“The cybersecurity landscape is currently in the midst of a major sea change,” said Eyal Benishti, CEO at IRONSCALES. “Deepfakes, agentic AI, and other emergent technologies are fundamentally reshaping the threat landscape, ushering in a whole new stage in the evolution of phishing. This next generation of threats, which I like to call Phishing 3.0, is defined by highly-targeted, highly-sophisticated phishing threats that use these technologies to supercharge their social engineering strategies and launch attacks of unprecedented speed and scale. As we enter this new era, organizations are in dire need of tools and technologies that can protect and empower their workforce against these advanced threats. Our deepfake protection capabilities aim to do just that—giving organizations a powerful, proactive means of reliably detecting and preventing deepfake-driven attacks before they cause harm.”

Deepfake tactics

Including manipulated visuals, voice cloning, and fabricated videos—are now being weaponized to trick employees into transferring funds, exposing confidential data, or enabling unauthorized system access. IRONSCALES’ latest enhancement leverages sophisticated AI algorithms that identify audio and visual inconsistencies, enabling the system to flag and intercept deepfake content before it reaches the recipient.

Telit, a global IRONSCALES customer, expressed strong support for the platform’s new capability and its role in restoring digital trust across enterprise communications.

“The ability to detect deepfake videos in real time is a game-changer,” said Itzik Menashe from Telit. “Plus, the capabilities are integrated seamlessly with the IRONSCALES platform, making it incredibly easy to roll out and scale across our organization. As cybercriminals continue to refine their tactics, IRONSCALES gives us the confidence to identify fraudulent attempts before they cause damage. This is a critical step in ensuring that our employees and partners can trust the messages they receive.”

As deepfake threats continue to evolve, IRONSCALES remains committed to delivering cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions that help enterprises stay one step ahead of cybercriminals. The unveiling at RSA Conference 2025 is set to mark a turning point in the fight against AI-powered phishing and impersonation attacks.
