Defining the Standard for Deepfake Defense: Industry Leader Recognition, Record Growth, and Our New Standard in Visual Defense

As AI-enabled fraud skyrockets, the demand for deepfake detection has surged across every major industry. This market urgency has accelerated our growth, driving Reality Defender to double our client base last quarter and putting us on pace to triple our revenue this year.

We truly believe this commercial expansion has been validated by a significant industry milestone: Reality Defender's inclusion in a recent report, "Gartner® AI Vendor Race: Reality Defender Is the Company to Beat in Deepfake Detection." We believe this recognition cements our position as the industry standard for anti-fraud infrastructure, and we are committed to maintaining that lead.

Industry-Leading Visual Detection

Fueled by this growth, I am proud to announce that earlier this week we finalized and released our most advanced visual detection model to date. This launch is the result of a year of strategic leadership restructuring and intensive cross-team collaboration. This new human-centric model represents our platform's most significant leap in computer vision capabilities. Unlike general-purpose detection tools, we purpose-built this model to intercept specific fraud vectors in high-stakes environments. It is designed to secure Know Your Customer (KYC) and Identity Verification platforms, protect video conferencing streams, and prevent sophisticated image-based attacks that threaten our clients' bottom lines.

As Reality Defender Co-Founder and CEO Ben Colman recently noted:

"Reality Defender, its clients, and its partners are working to secure the foundational layer of trust needed in all aspects of the online and offline world. Last year proved that deepfake defense is no longer optional, but a critical requirement for doing business. With our many new clients, industry-leading new visual model, and with our peers and partners, we are ensuring that enterprises and developers can build crucial safety into their products and platforms."

A Banner Year of Growth

The launch of this visual model caps off our biggest year of expansion and product innovation. Over the last twelve months, we have partnered with over a dozen new enterprise partners and deployed several new detection models to counter the rapid evolution of generative AI.

This operational scale was further bolstered by last year's launch of RealAPI, our public developer API, which allows developers to integrate enterprise-grade deepfake detection into their applications with just two lines of code. By opening up access to our detection platform, we are helping build a broader ecosystem of trust to combat fraud at scale.

Furthermore, we solidified our presence in enterprise communication stacks by releasing a string of updates to our RealMeeting applications for Zoom and Microsoft Teams, helping global enterprises secure real-time web conferencing against impersonation attacks.

Our partners are already seeing the difference. David DellaPelle, CEO and Co-Founder of Dune Security, put it best:

"We are seeing a massive surge in demand for proven defense. Partnering with Reality Defender allows us to unite our proactive user risk scoring and remediation with their award-winning detection, creating a shield that actually keeps pace with deepfake evolution.."

Reality Defender's latest visual detection model is available immediately to all existing enterprise partners. For organizations seeking to fortify their fraud prevention infrastructure against deepfakes, you can access these capabilities today at realitydefender.com.
