Stopping Deepfakes: The identifAI-InfoCert Partnership to Protect Digital Identities

As AI-generated images, videos, and voices become increasingly realistic, remote digital identity verification processes are under direct threat from fraudsters seeking to impersonate others and steal or forge credentials.

Deepfake-powered fraud attempts now occur as frequently as once every five minutes, with manipulated facial data and AI-generated video implicated in 40% of biometric fraud attempts. The financial sector is particularly at risk: nearly 1 in 20 remote identity verifications in banking is now fraudulent, targeting KYC and onboarding workflows.

This rising threat underscores why AI-driven deepfake detection and robust digital identity verification are no longer optional — they are critical for organizations seeking to safeguard their clients and maintain trust in the digital age.

To address these escalating threats, Italian startup identifAI and Tinexta Infocert, a leading European Certification Authority and provider of digital identity services, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing online security through cutting-edge deepfake detection technology.

Fighting Deepfakes with AI Technology

Synthetic images, videos, and voices generated by AI  pose a serious risk to cybersecurity. Malicious actors can use these tools to impersonate individuals, obtain fraudulent credentials, or commit identity theft. Recognizing this growing threat, identifAI has developed an innovative platform allowing AI-generated content detection that can accurately and in real time distinguish between human-made and AI-generated visuals.

By integrating identifAI’s technology into Tinexta Infocert’s remote onboarding process, the partnership enables real-time identification of AI-generated content and prevents attempts to create false digital identities. This not only increases system resilience but also reinforces user trust in remote digital services.

Why identifAI

Fabrizio Leoni, Head of Innovative Products explains that InfoCert needed a back-end component capable of analyzing static images and verifying their authenticity through measurable, objective metrics. They required a solution that would operate at a deep, technical layer, providing structured and reliable validation of images and video frames genuineness.

For this reason, they chose a vertical solution focused exclusively on deepfake detection ensuring specialized, high-precision verification where it matters most.

Advancing Cybersecurity Standards in Europe

The collaboration has already yielded significant milestones. Tinexta Infocert has received compliance approval from Spain’s Centro Criptologico Nacional, allowing its digital identification services — including eDelivery and digital signatures — to enter the Catálogo de Productos y Servicios de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. This recognition confirms adherence to the stringent security requirements of the Spanish National IT Security Plan and sets the stage for the company’s expansion into the Spanish market, with plans to scale across Europe in the coming months.

"Our technology, which verifies the authenticity of images and videos and flags digital impersonation attempts, strengthens the security standards of Europe’s leading certification authority. This strategic alliance fosters trust in remote identity tools in an era where deepfakes and digital fraud are increasingly accessible." - Marco Ramilli, Founder and CEO - identifAI

A Strategic Partnership for a Safer Digital Future

The collaboration between identifAI and Tinexta Infocert represents a significant step forward in the fight against digital fraud. By combining AI-driven deepfake detection with robust cybersecurity protocols, this partnership ensures that digital interactions across Europe are safer, more trustworthy, and resilient against evolving online threats.

This initiative not only reinforces the integrity of digital identities but also highlights the growing role of AI-generated content detectors in modern cybersecurity strategies.
