businessinfomag.uk magazine 08 Fake or misfortune? FARx, a provider of biometrics software that fuses speaker, speech and face recognition, is countering the rise of AI-powered voice fraud with new detection capabilities for cloned voice and synthetic identities. Trained on 55,000 synthetic voices, FARx 2.0 reliably distinguishes between real and AI-generated voices that legacy voice biometrics are unable to tell apart. Unlike traditional voice authentication solutions, FARx 2.0 identifies not just what is being said but who is speaking, enabling it to detect and block attempts to spoof someone’s identity with synthetic voices, deepfakes or cloned audio and video. The software can be integrated into browsers, apps and existing communications systems (including IVR and video systems) to deliver continuous, frictionless multi-factor authentication. Operating in the background, it can also continuously verify identity without disrupting the user experience and capture biometric data from suspected fraudsters. www.farx.co.uk All in one place Gamma Communications is giving IT teams the ability to unify and manage communications across Microsoft Teams, Webex, contact centre platforms and existing PBXs with the launch of GammaUCX.
