Alongside rapidly growing AI usage, AI-powered impersonations are becoming a significant concern. Beyond Identity is proud to announce the expansion of RealityCheck to Microsoft Teams, offering organizations a robust solution to verify participant identities and device trustworthiness in real-time.

The escalating threat of AI-powered impersonation

Recent threat intelligence reports highlight the growing sophistication and prevalence of AI-driven attacks:

• Voice Phishing Surge: According to CrowdStrike's 2025 Global Threat Report, there was a 442% increase in voice phishing (vishing) attacks between the first and second halves of 2024, driven by AI-generated phishing and impersonation tactics
• Social Engineering Prevalence: Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that social engineering remains a top pattern in breaches, with phishing and pretexting accounting for a significant portion of incidents
• North Korean Deepfake Operations: North Korean threat actors have been observed using deepfake technology to create synthetic identities for online job interviews, aiming to secure remote work positions and infiltrate organizations.

These statistics underscore the need for enhanced security measures in digital communications.
