GetReal Security

Real security for AI-fueled deception and malicious digital media.

“I don’t know how you go about your day if you’re getting on a call and you can’t tell if someone’s real or not.”

GetReal Security CEO Matthew Moynahan recently spoke with Cameron Wenham on The Defender’s Journal podcast from @TechfellowUK about the incredible disruption we’re seeing, what makes GetReal’s approach unique, and what is at stake.

The influencers you’re following could be AI, and you may not know it.

GetReal Security’s Chief Investigative Officer Emmanuelle Saliba (@_esaliba) spent the last month investigating the rise of AI influencers and the highly valuable economy they’re tapping into.

Synthetic identities are blending into everyday online culture and building trust at scale. If they can do it on these platforms, they can do it anywhere.

"If anyone can easily create hyperrealistic humans — a synthetic persona with an online history, a trusted following — they can use it anywhere."

[Emmanuelle Saliba @_esaliba]

You’re following AI and probably don’t know it.

Over the last month, I’ve been diving into a growing ecosystem of AI influencers online. Some have millions of followers, some sell products, and some generate real revenue. And many online users interacting with these accounts don't realize these are not real humans.

What also stood out wasn’t only the quality of the models or the now organized production pipeline allowing these synthetic personas to be created in large numbers, it was how quickly synthetic identities are blending into everyday online culture and building trust at scale.

How certain are you that the person on the other side of the screen is actually who they claim to be?

Next week at @Gartner_inc Security & Risk Management Summit, GetReal Security CEO Matthew Moynahan will moderate a CISO Boardroom discussion about one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security today: trusting who is on the other side of the call.

Current identity stacks were designed to verify accounts, not humans. For the last two decades that distinction didn’t matter, but #GenAI has changed everything.

Every so often a version of this scenario goes viral: something about a participant on a call is a bit off, and increasingly, it’s a hiring candidate.

The interviewer asks them to wave their hand in front of their face. That’s the trick that exposes the scam.

[GetReal Security @GetRealSecurity]

Except this trick no longer works. The technology has improved.

Dr. Hany Farid explains how deepfake technology is improving beyond traditionally popular tells.

[GetReal Security @GetRealSecurity]

We need the same guardrails, protections, and tools in digital spaces that we have in the physical world.

Crosswalks, helmets, and seatbelts need digital counterparts. Continuous identity verification is the next move in building the safety infrastructure our digital world deserves.

Big news from @GetRealSecurity: continuous identity verification is now generally available in GetReal Protect — the first platform to verify who is on the call in real time. The human layer is the new frontier in zero-trust. GetReal is defending it. https://t.co/i7v8Mlhfw7

Deepfakes broke static biometric security.

As GetReal Security co-founder Dr. Hany Farid says, in the physical world a capture of an iris or a face may work. In the digital world, verification based on static biometrics isn’t enough.

Learn how continuous identity verification, released this week, meets the challenge:

“I contend that we are in a global war for truth.”

Last year, GetReal Security co-founder and chief science officer Hany Farid stood in front of a packed @TEDTalks audience and laid out what we’re up against when it comes to AI-powered deception — and how the team at GetReal is fighting back.

This week we’re taking another major step forward in our mission to restore trust on the other side of the screen. GetReal Protect is now the first platform to offer a holistic, real-time solution that combines deepfake detection, impersonation detection, and continuous identity verification across voice and video.

Most identity solutions rely on a single point-in-time check — a password entered, a face scanned once — authentication that is easily sidestepped using AI. GetReal Protect is the only platform which verifies continuously, ensuring the person who joins the call is the same person who stays on it — and the same, verified person who appears each and every time thereafter.

For two decades, organizations built security around their networks, devices, and software — and those defenses largely worked. But attackers started to move to a layer where no defenses were ever built: the live interaction between humans.

Today, GetReal is thrilled to announce the general availability of continuous identity verification within our flagship product, GetReal Protect.

[GetReal Security @GetRealSecurity]

With today's announcement, GetReal Protect becomes the first platform to offer a holistic, real-time solution that combines deepfake detection, impersonation detection, and continuous identity verification across voice and video.

We’re building the safety infrastructure our remote-first, digital world deserves.

This #deepfake Warren Buffett showed up in a confined setting — a shareholder meeting — where everyone knew it was fake. Under different circumstances and with a different script, it could bring down a company.

Abel rightly took time to mention the seriousness of the risk deepfakes pose. He knows — and we all know — that identity isn’t a given anymore. Digital identity is fragmented and #GenAI is forcing our hand to solve the problem.

We’re detecting and responding to these threats, because it’s about protecting the human layer itself. The voice, the face, the person on the other end of the screen.

If we can't verify that, nothing else holds.

[GetReal Security @GetRealSecurity]

Greg Abel, new CEO and successor to @WarrenBuffett at Berkshire Hathaway, opened up questions at the company’s recent annual shareholder meeting with “Warren from Omaha.”

Except the real Warren was sitting in the audience, watching himself pop up on screen.

It was an artificially generated clone of the legendary figure — including his face, voice, mannerisms, and mentions of personal details.

[GetReal Security @GetRealSecurity]

At first, the AI-generated Buffett was met with laughs. But this wasn’t meant as a joke. It was a warning.

Abel later confirmed to the audience that it was a deepfake, and it was done with zero input from Buffet. They didn’t have him sit down and speak the lines or use motion capture. They used media that’s on the open internet, freely available to anyone.

That’s enough to create a convincing duplication — not just of public figures like Warren Buffet, but of you. Your boss. Your coworkers.
