NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

With the evolution of generative AI, synthetic identities and AI agents can operate as if they were human — eroding trust in executive approvals, financial transactions, remote hiring, telehealth visits, and board-level conversations.. They can clone a voice, swap a face, and impersonate an executive, employee, or customer in real time. Pindrop Pulse for Meetings was built to address this new class of AI-driven impersonation fraud directly within live enterprise collaboration environments. Pulse for Meetings extends Pindrop’s Real Human + Right Human™ Platform into live collaboration environments, bringing continuous identity verification to high-stakes digital conversations.

Launched in 2025, Pulse for Meetings brings real-time deepfake detection and identity assurance to platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. The product continuously analyzes live audio and video streams during meetings to detect synthetic voices, manipulated video, replay attacks, and human impersonation as they occur, and before fraud results in financial loss, data exposure, or reputational damage.

Unlike legacy fraud prevention tools that rely on static credentials, knowledge-based authentication, or post-incident investigations, Pulse for Meetings evaluates hundreds of acoustic, behavioral, device, and contextual risk signals in parallel. Its AI models are trained on 1.5 billion real-world interactions annually alongside extensive synthetic media datasets, enabling the system to detect 99% of known deepfakes and over 90% of emerging AI-generated threats. It shifts fraud prevention from verifying credentials to verifying human authenticity in real time, determining whether participants are real humans, legitimate actors, and authorized individuals.

The urgency of this capability is clear: deepfake attacks have surged more than 1,300% YoY and nearly 1 in 6 job applicants now shows signs of fraud. High-stakes interactions, executive approvals, remote hiring, telehealth visits, financial transactions, and confidential board meetings have become prime targets.

Pulse for Meetings operates passively with millisecond latency, requiring no change in user behavior and introducing no friction into enterprise workflows. Embedded directly into widely used collaboration platforms, it scales seamlessly across global organizations.

Recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2025, Pulse for Meetings represents a fundamental shift in fraud prevention: from verifying credentials to verifying human authenticity in real time. In a world where voices and faces can be fabricated instantly, Pindrop provides the infrastructure that restores trust to live digital communication.
