# Defeating the deepfake: stopping laptop farms and insider threats

**[Cloudflare](https://daily.dev/sources/cloudflare)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Cloudflare is partnering with Nametag to address the growing threat of AI-powered identity fraud and 'remote IT worker' schemes, particularly those linked to nation-state actors like North Korea running laptop farms. The integration adds workforce identity verification to Cloudflare One's SASE platform via OIDC, requiring new employees to verify their identity with a selfie and government ID before accessing any internal resources. The verification takes under 30 seconds and uses cryptographic and biometric checks to defeat deepfake IDs and injection attacks. This complements existing Cloudflare One protections like DLP, Remote Browser Isolation, and CASB. Future capabilities will include step-up verification triggered by user risk score changes mid-session, and protection for self-service IT workflows like password resets to prevent social engineering attacks.
