identifAI Named in Gartner® Hype Cycle for AI-Driven Cybersecurity, 2026

‍
identifAI has been named in the Gartner® Hype Cycle for AI-Driven Cybersecurity, 2026.

As generative AI makes synthetic media increasingly accessible, deepfakes, cloned voices, AI-generated images, and manipulated video are creating new challenges for cybersecurity, public safety, law enforcement, and digital identity.

‍
In our view, this reflects how AI-generated deception is becoming a practical security priority.

‍
Why Deepfake Detection Matters in AI-Driven Cybersecurity

‍
Generative AI lets attackers produce realistic deepfake video, cloned voices and synthetic images at scale. These are used to impersonate executives, bypass remote KYC and commit fraud, often faster than manual review can follow. In our view, media authenticity verification is becoming a control alongside identity, fraud and security operations tooling.

‍
What identifAI Detects
