ValidSoft announced a strategic alliance with Reality Defender, the RSA Innovation Award-winning deepfake detection platform, to jointly address the growing threat of AI-generated audio in online communications. As attackers grow more sophisticated — in cloning voices, launching real-time synthetic calls, and exploiting vulnerable identity layers — this partnership sets a new standard for proactive defense of voice 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 gap in voice-based identity security — particularly in critical environments like online conferencing, contact centers, and help desks. Together, the companies are closing this gap by launching a best-in-class, battle-tested solution which combines ValidSoft’s leading, patented Voice Identity Platform™, delivering real-time, passive voice biometric authentication and cryptographic voice assurance, with Reality Defender’s market-leading, API-first deepfake audio detection capabilities. The result: a seamless, multi-layered defense against real-time impersonation, fraud, and synthetic media attacks. Ben Colman, CEO and Co-Founder of Reality Defender. “By combining ValidSoft’s real-time voice identity assurance platform with Reality Defender’s AI-powered deepfake detection, we’re delivering a solution purpose-built for the threats.”
