Reality Defender Launches Public API and Free Tier to Bring Enterprise-Grade Deepfake Detection to Every Developer
Leading AI detection platform enables developers to implement deepfake detection with just two lines of code. NEW YORK, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reality Defender, the RSA Innovation Award-winning deepfake detection platform, today announced the launch of its public developer API and SDK, along with a free tier offering 50 detections per month. The API enables any developer to integrate enterprise-grade deepfake detection into their applications with just two lines of code, marking a significant step toward natively building trust infrastructure into critical applications. The API leverages Reality Defender's multi-model approach and introduces a context-aware detection model that looks beyond faces to identify deepfake images using proprietary, cutting-edge techniques. Currently supporting audio and image detection, the platform will expand to include other modalities including video in the coming months. "By opening up access to our detection platform, we hope to help build a broader ecosystem of trust and safety, combatting deepfake fraud at scale," said Alex Lisle, CTO of Reality Defender. "Whether for fraud detection, identity verification, content moderation, or other purposes, developers can now build our enterprise-grade detection into their platforms." The free tier is designed for developers and production-ready applications across multiple sectors, including: OSINT and media analysis tools Trust and safety platforms combating AI-powered fraud Financial services preventing sophisticated social engineering attacks Brand protection systems identifying synthetic content before it goes viral Legal and e-discovery platforms ensuring evidence integrity Reality Defender's approach enables a distributed defense network against deepfake frauds, which are projected to cost businesses billions by 2027, according to Deloitte. The urgency for these defenses is underscored by recent successful deepfake impersonations of senior government officials and FBI warnings about AI-generated media being used in sophisticated fraud campaigns targeting these officials. By launching this API for developers to easily implement its platform, Reality Defender aims to make detecting deepfakes as routine as filtering spam. "We live in an AI-first world, and fraud has never been so prevalent or sophisticated," said Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO of Reality Defender. "Just as antivirus and spam detection became essential decades ago, today's threats demand deepfake detection to become a foundational layer of trust. Now, developers can build it in from their first line of code." The API launch follows the release of Reality Defender's Zoom integration and a fundraising round led by Illuminate Financial, with additional participation from Booz Allen Ventures, IBM Ventures, the Jefferies Family Office, and Accenture, as well as additional participation from original Series A lead investor DCVC and past investors The Partnership Fund for New York City and Y Combinator. The API and free tier are available immediately at Developers can access documentation, SDKs, and begin their integration today. About Reality Defender Reality Defender is an award-winning cybersecurity company helping enterprises and governments detect deepfakes and AI-generated media. Utilizing a patented multi-model approach, Reality Defender is robust against the bleeding edge of generative platforms producing video, audio, imagery, and text media. Reality Defender's API-first deepfake detection platform empowers teams and developers alike to identify fraud, disinformation campaigns, and harmful deepfakes in real time.

HeartBeam Wins Industry Innovation Award for Advancing Remote Cardiac Care With Groundbreaking ECG Technology
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), a medical technology company focused on transforming cardiac care by providing powerful personalized insights, today announced it has been awarded the Innovation Award in Remote Cardiac Diagnostics as part of the 2025 Medical Device Network Excellence Awards. The award honors HeartBeam's groundbreaking, FDA-cleared electrocardiogram (ECG) technology that enables clinical-grade diagnostics for arrhythmia assessment outside of traditional healthcare settings, expanding access to timely and actionable cardiac care. The Medical Device Network Excellence Awards, powered by GlobalData's business intelligence, is one of the most respected independent recognition programs in the industry. The program analyzes over one billion datasets annually to recognize forward-thinking companies that drive positive change and set new standards for excellence across the global medical device sector. The award recognizes HeartBeam's proprietary 3D ECG technology which captures the heart's electrical signals in 3 distinct, non-coplanar directions and then synthesizes these signals into a 12-lead ECG. The technology makes it possible to provide diagnostic fidelity similar to a standard 12-lead ECG in a credit card-sized, cable-free device which enables patients to record their arrhythmia symptoms the moment they occur. The 12-lead ECG synthesis software is currently under review by FDA, and upon FDA clearance, HeartBeam plans to initiate commercialization. 'This recognition affirms our vision of transforming how cardiac conditions are monitored and detected and validates our belief that access to high-fidelity ECG data should not be limited by healthcare settings,' said Robert Eno, Chief Executive Officer of HeartBeam. 'As we continue to prepare for the market introduction of the HeartBeam System, this award highlights our leadership position in delivering clinically validated, patient-centric solutions to advance remote cardiac care.' The Medical Device Network Excellence Award adds to the growing body of industry recognitions HeartBeam has received, including the Pinnacle Healthcare Award, Digital Health Hub Foundation Award, and MedTech Breakthrough Award. About HeartBeam, Inc. HeartBeam, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) is a medical technology company dedicated to transforming the detection and monitoring of critical cardiac conditions. The Company is creating the first-ever cable-free device capable of collecting ECG signals in 3D, from three non-coplanar directions, and synthesizing the signals into a 12-lead ECG. This platform technology is designed for portable devices that can be used wherever the patient is to deliver actionable heart intelligence. Physicians will be able to identify cardiac health trends and acute conditions and direct patients to the appropriate care – all outside of a medical facility, thus redefining the future of cardiac health management. HeartBeam's 3D ECG technology received FDA clearance for arrhythmia assessment in December 2024. The 12-Lead ECG synthesis software is under FDA review. The Company holds over 20 issued patents related to technology enablement.
