Who We Are
Our client is redefining trust in the digital age through patented voice and video authentication, fraud detection, and deepfake detection technologies. The company protects some of the world's largest banks, insurers, retailers, and healthcare leaders. As AI-driven threats evolve in the form of synthetic voices, deepfakes, face swapping and more, their solutions stay ahead, helping ensure that the real human and the right human are recognized. The company is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises to secure voice interactions, and with tens of millions in annual recurring revenue, they're entering their next phase of innovation and growth, backed by world-class investors.
