Deepfakes and synthetic media

Isaac Hathaway

Human Risk Management Practitioner

Isaac works within Doppel’s Applied Cyber Human Risk Management practice, where he builds deepfake, voice-cloning, and synthetic-media capabilities for advanced social engineering simulations.

About

Isaac partners closely with Product and Engineering to translate rapid developments in generative AI into realistic, controlled exercises that reflect how adversaries are using synthetic media to impersonate trusted individuals, establish credibility, and influence their targets.

Before joining Doppel, Isaac built full-stack applications and specialized tools for deepfake red teaming and threat intelligence. He was a co-owner of the Deepfake Dashboard, a deepfake threat-intelligence firm focused on helping organizations understand the evolving synthetic-media landscape. He also ran Hathaway Technologies, where he designed and developed web applications that combined technical engineering with practical user and business requirements.

Isaac’s work sits at the intersection of full-stack engineering, adversarial testing, and frontier AI. He develops the systems and evaluation methods used to assess the realism, reliability, safety, and effectiveness of Doppel’s synthetic-media capabilities. By turning emerging deepfake techniques, red-team findings, and production outcomes into measurable standards and repeatable feedback loops, he helps Doppel continuously improve how its AI agents simulate real-world adversaries.

His work also helps organizations prepare for the next generation of AI-enabled impersonation attacks. By recreating emerging threats in a controlled environment, Isaac enables customers to evaluate how employees respond to highly realistic voice and deepfake scenarios before those techniques are used against them in the wild.
