Deepfake Training: A Strategic Advantage Against Emerging Threats

KnowBe4 Team | Dec 15, 2025

Deepfake_Training_Content_Blog_560x360Deepfake attacks have become more compelling and realistic than ever before.

Attackers are impersonating trusted leaders with convincing videos and voice, making it harder for employees to know what is real. Traditional awareness training is a good start, but nothing replaces first-hand exposure to real and synthetic content when it comes to telling deepfake videos from authentic ones. 

That’s why today we’re introducing KnowBe4’s Deepfake Training Content. This new capability transforms abstract risk into an unforgettable, high-engagement training moment that demonstrates how convincing AI-powered social engineering has become and delivers clear, actionable guidance on how to detect these attacks.

How it Works

KnowBe4 makes it easy to generate deepfake training tailored to your organization. In just minutes you can create hyperrealistic deepfakes that deliver scalable, high-impact training experiences.

  1. Choose a Leader to Feature
    Select a CEO, executive or another recognizable leader your employees trust.
  2. Upload a Short Sample
    Provide a brief video and audio clip of that person, then select a deepfake scenario to generate.
  3. Generate Your Custom Deepfake Training Experience
    KnowBe4’s system creates a hyperrealistic deepfake that your employees can experience within a controlled training environment. These deepfakes demonstrate how convincing AI impersonation can be and teach employees what cues to look out for.
  4. Deploy in Any Training Campaign
    Add the deepfake module to existing training plans or use it as a high-impact standalone experience.
  5. Measure Improvement
    Track completion, engagement and performance over time to show real behavior change.
Why it Matters
  • Deepfake attacks are increasing fast. Employees need training that reflects today’s threat landscape.
  • Personalized content captures attention. A custom deepfake training experience featuring someone your employees know drives higher engagement than generic material.
  • Security teams need measurable impact. Deepfake training drives exceptionally high completion rates, making it easy for security leaders to prove measurable behavior change.
  • It prepares your employees for what’s coming next. Deepfakes are becoming a standard tool for social engineering, and your KnowBe4 training now reflects that reality.
