Reality Defender

Reality Defender develops deepfake detection technology aimed at enterprises, platforms and institutions, identifying AI-generated and manipulated media in real time across communication channels. The company positions its product as an "enterprise authenticity layer" that screens synthetic media before it can be used to authorize payments, spread false information publicly, or cause automated agents to act on manipulated inputs.

Coverage spans multiple modalities and channels, including contact center security, access security and fraud prevention, secure video conferencing, and brand and executive protection. Named use cases include call center fraud, video conferencing user verification, know-your-customer checks, identity and access management, recruiting and onboarding, and executive impersonation defense.

Business model

Reality Defender sells detection capabilities to organizations, offering turnkey integrations with everyday applications alongside advanced deployments for sensitive environments, and exposes its models to developers through an API and SDKs. A free tier provides 50 audio or image scans per month, with enterprise engagement handled through direct contact.
