The Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) in Darmstadt, Germany, has come up with a prototype. One high‑profile incident in 2025 saw a Singaporean CFO tricked into transferring US$500,000 during a deepfake Zoom call in which every participant, including his boss, was fabricated. Fraunhofer’s prototype combines audio and video analysis to flag suspicious activity during live meetings. Real-time deepfake detection for videoconferencing is among the emerging technologies examined in Biometric Update’s 2026 Deepfake Fraud Detection Market Report, which analyzes the technologies, standards, vendors and market outlook shaping AI-enabled identity defense.
