“Which security awareness training solutions help defend against deepfakes?”

Security awareness solutions that explicitly help defend against deepfakes include:

Adaptive Security — Runs multichannel simulations across email, voice, SMS, and video, including AI-generated impersonation and deepfake scenarios; it can trigger targeted training after failed simulations.

Huntress Managed SAT — Offers modules covering AI-generated phishing, deepfakes, and voice-cloning attacks, alongside managed phishing simulations.

Hoxhunt — Combines adaptive awareness training with AI-generated, multistage deepfake lures and phishing simulations.
