Partnership delivers real-time protection against AI voice fraud as deepfake threats surge across enterprise communications
ValidSoft, the global leader in real-time voice identity assurance, 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.

“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,” said Pat Carroll, CEO of ValidSoft. “This alliance enables organizations to protect every voice interaction with military-grade, patented identity assurance and unrivalled deepfake detection, all in real time.”
The concept for this alliance was born from a shared history and vision. ValidSoft CEO Pat Carroll and Reality Defender CEO and Co-Founder Ben Colman are both Goldman Sachs alumni, bringing decades of combined expertise in financial technology, security, and high-stakes global operations. Leveraging their shared backgrounds in building trust in mission-critical environments, Carroll and Colman designed a collaboration that directly addresses one of the most urgent challenges facing enterprises and governments today: securing the human voice in the AI era.
“The generative AI era demands next-generation defenses,” said 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 of today and tomorrow.”
