Cloned voices and synthetic video calls are no longer hypothetical; they are being used in payment fraud, help desk resets, and access requests. Security teams need to test their defenses before a real attack, and a deepfake readiness drill offers a way to do that safely.
The drill works by simulating a call from a high-ranking executive, such as a CFO, at an inconvenient time like Friday at 4:40. Because nothing is at stake, the exercise reveals exactly where verification processes break down, giving teams a clear picture of their weak points.
This practice turns a theoretical threat into a concrete test. It helps staff recognize the signs of deepfake technology and refine authentication procedures before an actual cloned voice reaches them.
