"The sophistication of deepfakes puts all our means of communication risk," says Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley, Jr. "Reality Defender is not only a thought leader in this field; they are providing technical solutions at speed and scale to rapidly identify adversaries seeking to penetrate our networks and do us harm."
"It's simple," says Maj. Gen. Clay Hutmacher, Operating Partner at DCVC. "Detecting and stopping deepfakes is a matter of national security — and Reality Defender stands alone in answering that call."
