Reality Defender and ValidSoft Partner to Combat Voice Deepfake Threats

We at Reality Defender are proud to announce a strategic alliance with ValidSoft that jointly addresses the growing threat of AI-generated audio in online communications. Our partnership combines ValidSoft's real-time voice identity assurance technology with our RSA Innovation Award-winning deepfake detection platform to deliver comprehensive protection against AI voice fraud as deepfake threats surge across enterprise communications.

This strategic alliance follows OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's recent warnings about an impending AI-generated voice fraud crisis, especially for financial institutions. With the departure of Nuance and Amazon Connect Voice ID from the market, enterprises and governments face a dangerous security gap in voice-based identity verification – particularly in critical environments like online conferencing, contact centers, and help desks. Attackers are growing increasingly sophisticated in their ability to clone voices, launch real-time synthetic calls, and exploit vulnerable identity layers, creating what security experts are calling a "perfect storm" for voice fraud.

A Multi-Layered Defense Against AI Threats

Our joint partnership brings together two complementary technologies to create a comprehensive defense system. ValidSoft's Voice Identity Platform™ delivers real-time, passive voice biometric authentication with cryptographic voice assurance, essentially creating an unhackable digital fingerprint for every voice interaction. This solution integrates our market-leading deepfake audio detection capabilities, made accessible through API and SDKs we launched just weeks ago. Together, we provide a seamless, multi-layered defense against real-time impersonation, fraud, and synthetic media attacks.

As Pat Carroll, CEO of Validsoft puts it, “We're not just filling the void left by Nuance and Amazon – we're redefining what secure voice identity looks like in the age of AI. This alliance enables organizations to protect every voice interaction with military-grade identity assurance and unrivaled deepfake detection, all in real time."

The solution directly addresses our core mission of enabling trust in an AI-powered world by securing critical channels against deepfake impersonations. With our patented multimodal detection technology and commitment to continuous innovation, we bring bleeding-edge resilience to the partnership through models that are blended, tested, and rigorously updated to anticipate and prevent emerging deepfake threats.

Shared Vision from Goldman Sachs Alumni

The concept for this alliance was born from a shared history and vision. ValidSoft CEO Pat Carroll and I are both Goldman Sachs alumni, bringing decades of combined expertise in financial technology, security, and high-stakes global operations. Leveraging our shared backgrounds in building trust in mission-critical environments, Pat and I designed a partnership that directly addresses one of the most urgent challenges facing enterprises and governments today: securing the human voice in the AI era.

Our partnership is already deployed across enterprises and government agencies where real-time identity verification and trust are paramount. These early implementations demonstrate the solution's ability to protect assets from sophisticated fraud attempts, preserve reputational integrity for executives and organizations, prevent breaches of confidential data and intellectual property, and enable confident interactions across all communication channels.

As generative AI tools continue to evolve, enabling bad actors to impersonate and defraud at unprecedented scale, the ValidSoft-Reality Defender alliance represents a critical line of defense. The partnership offers enterprise-grade scale with turnkey integrations for everyday communication apps, providing organizations a practical path to AI-resilient security. In a world where deepfakes can bypass legacy security mechanisms and manual detection methods, organizations need solutions that can match the speed and sophistication of AI-powered threats.

The message is clear: our alliance delivers security at the speed of communication, with the flexibility to deploy across existing tech stacks and applications. For enterprises and governments navigating the complex landscape of AI-generated threats, this partnership offers more than just protection – it offers the confidence to interact, communicate, and operate in an AI-powered world where trust can no longer be taken for granted.
