MoonPay, a leading crypto payments company, is among the early adopters of Pulse for Meetings. "Fraudsters are already using real-time deepfakes to impersonate employees and infiltrate sensitive meetings,” said Doug Innocenti, Chief Information Security Officer at MoonPay. “Partnering with Pindrop helps us stay ahead of these threats and strengthen trust in remote communications.”

Powered by technology that has already proven to detect synthetic voices in contact centers with 99% accuracy through its audio engine, Pindrop Pulse for Meetings leverages the same proven foundation to bring trusted security to virtual meetings—helping verify that participants are both real humans and the right humans.

“Enabling human connection with our AI-first platform is core to Zoom’s mission, and Pindrop’s new integration helps provide users confidence that the people they see and hear are real,” said Brendan Ittelson, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Zoom. “As the first UCaaS provider to introduce Pindrop Pulse on our platform, Zoom looks forward to offering this additional security tool in the Zoom Meetings experience.”

Pindrop brings unmatched expertise to this fight, recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025 and backed by more than 75 patents in deepfake detection and voice authentication, top performance in independent benchmarks such as ASV Spoof, and recognized as a winner of the FTC Voice Cloning Challenge.

The Growing Deepfake Threat

Deepfake deception is no longer theoretical. In one case, a finance employee was tricked into wiring $25 million after a video meeting with a fabricated version of their company’s CFO. Beyond financial fraud, hiring and operations are increasingly targeted: one in six job applicants show signs of digital manipulation, and the UN estimates that scams involving North Korean IT workers posing as remote hires have generated $250–$600 million annually since 2018.

“Trust is the foundation of every business, and advances in deepfake technology strike at the heart of it,” said Dr. Vijay Balasubramaniyan, CEO and Co-Founder of Pindrop. “With Pulse for Meetings, we’re giving organizations a seamless way to detect deepfakes and authenticate participants across the video platforms they rely on most, protecting conversations, decisions, and collaboration from digital deception.”
