Why it's Critical to Ask for Permission to Deepfake

Why Permission Matters in the Age of Deepfakes

AI-driven attacks are up over 1,000% (opens in new tab), and social engineering has evolved into high-fidelity, synthetic deception.

As these threats scale, the security industry needs even more protection and less deception.

Permission-Based Protection

At Doppel, we operate on a simple, non-negotiable principle: We will always ask for permission before generating a deepfake of anyone in your organization.

Using someone’s name, image, or likeness without permission is both a breach of trust and a growing legal risk. As regulations tighten around synthetic media and biometric data, unauthorized use is a clear liability.

A Higher Standard

Deepfakes and social engineering are powerful, dangerous, and something we can’t treat lightly. Attackers don’t ask for permission, which is exactly why we do, and why we think it’s important for the security industry to hold itself to a higher standard.

At Doppel, that standard is clear: protect our customers without compromising trust.
