xDeTECH
With technological advances making it nearly impossible for humans to tell whether a voice is real or digitally generated, organizations need systems of their own to provide a line of defense against bad actors attempting to defraud their business. xDeTECH, formerly known as xSentinel, and part of our AI.X™ family of deepfake defense solutions, uses patented technology to indicate if a voice is likely synthetic, minimizing fraud.
Key Features and Benefits
xDeTECH sits at the point of entry for calls, providing an early and accurate signal as to whether the audio has been synthetically generated.
The xDeTECH algorithm keeps pace with the changing fraud landscape through machine learning, continually adjusting to potential new threats.
A standalone service that integrates into any voice communication platform, xDeTECH drops into existing workflows with little to no extra hardware/software investment.
xDeTECH analyzes incoming calls as they stream in real time, giving results to your agents within seconds so they can take any necessary steps quickly and confidently.
With no enrollment or guided action required, xDeTECH can go to work protecting your business immediately without inconveniencing your customers.
xDeTECH analyzes technical aspects of the audio, not the voice or what is being said, eliminating any barriers that could be created by language or dialect, making it a globally effective tool.
Deepfake voice generators have rendered the ability of a human to discern if a voice they are hearing is real obsolete. Bad actors can now mimic the accent, age, gender, language, speech patterns, and even the actual voice of their target, making it impossible for an agent to know if they are talking to a person or a machine.
Compounding the issue, the combination of generative AI, deepfake, and voicebots creates the perfect storm of fraud threats to call and contact centers. With these tools, fraudsters have the ability to make thousands of synthetic calls per day that not only sound human but have all of the right knowledge-based authentication responses.
xDeTECH gives the power of discernment back to businesses, with no need to analyze voice, language, or any other identifying feature of the call. Seconds after a caller begins speaking, multiple patented and proprietary algorithms detect various cues that indicate digitally generated audio. Within seconds, xDeTECH provides a result to assist in determining whether the call should continue, further authentication should be initiated, or the call should be terminated.
xDeTECH eliminates the advantages that modern voice generation technology can provide for bad actors by providing a signal to potential fraud quickly and accurately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does xDeTECH use voice biometrics?
No. xDeTECH strictly analyzes the audio it processes to determine if it is someone (a genuine person) speaking or a digitally generated voice. It does not have the capability to identify the actual person.
Why do I need xDeTECH if I already have biometric voice authentication?
xDeTECH is the perfect complement to any authentication process, as it provides a signal that extra scrutiny may be required to confirm the authenticity of a caller. A well-made deepfake, for instance, has the potential to fool biometric security. With xDeTECH, even an authenticated biometric can be called into question.
Does xDeTECH require a Daon platform?
While xDeTECH can run on IdentityX or TrustX, neither is required for it to be used by your organization. xDeTECH can be connected to any voice communication system to analyze incoming calls in real time.
