How Diopter defends the call

Four signals, one verdict.

Diopter is AI social engineering defense, not just deepfake detection. On every critical call it confirms identity and payment instructions, catches manipulation whether the caller is AI or human, detects AI or deepfake media, and enforces your policy, then turns all four signals into one recommended action.

01

Verify identity and payments

Confirm who's really on the call and validate payment and wire instructions. Flags fraud signals like a brand-new email domain or a SIM-swapped number, not just confirmed or unconfirmed.

02

Catch conversational manipulation

Monitor the conversation against known fraud and social-engineering patterns, whether the caller is AI or a real person applying pressure.

03

Detect AI and deepfake media

Detect AI or deepfake video and audio live, throughout the call, not from a single frame.

04

Enforce policy

Catch out-of-band and out-of-policy asks: wires over threshold, MFA resets, and vendor changes that skip your normal controls.

Threat categories

Where AI deception turns into loss.

Three attack patterns where AI and deepfake media, cloned audio, and conversation pressure are already creating measurable business risk.

01

Wire fraud

Bank and treasury transfers, vendor and invoice redirects, and executive overrides. Single calls have cleared $35M, with hundreds of millions redirected per quarter on closing wires.

02

AI impersonation

Deepfake video and cloned-voice impersonation of executives, vendors, and trusted parties, used to push approvals and exceptions past normal review.

03

Fake candidate fraud

Synthetic and state-sponsored candidates passing remote interviews to infiltrate payroll. Up 220% year over year.

The attack playbook

How these attacks actually unfold.

The highest-risk calls are not just deepfakes. They move through a recognizable sequence: authority, urgency, isolation, escalation, and the ask. Diopter scores that sequence while the call is still in progress.

01
T-7d → T-1h

Authority

The attacker establishes a believable role: a cloned exec, a title agent, a hiring manager, or a known vendor.

02
T-00:00

Urgency

Time pressure compresses normal verification. The deal closes today. Payroll runs in an hour.

03
T+02:00

Isolation

The channel narrows and witnesses are removed. Move to DM, private call, or off-domain email.

04
T+06:00

Escalation

Stakes rise. Threats, secrecy clauses, or 'just between us' framing accelerate compliance.

05
T+11:48

Ask

The wire approval, MFA reset, credential, hire decision, or vendor change finally lands.

Real incidents

Where Diopter would have intervened.

Public deepfake incidents, mapped to the move where Diopter would have intervened.

Global engineering firm

2024 · Deepfake video conference

$25.6M

A finance employee joined a video call with a deepfaked CFO and 'colleagues' on camera, then authorized 15 transfers in sequence.

Caught at
authorityisolationask

Diopter would have surfaced a synthetic-room signal across multiple participants well before the first wire was approved.

Residential closing wires

Q1 2025 · Email + voice impersonation

≈ $200M

Coordinated impersonation of title agents and closing attorneys redirected residential closing wires across 30+ states in a single quarter.

Caught at
authorityurgencyask

A verdict on the closing call attaches to the wire-instruction change before signature, breaking the redirect.

Commercial bank

$35M

A bank manager transferred $35M after a cloned voice call from a 'director' he had spoken with before, backed by spoofed email confirmation.

Caught at
