Bitdefender Launches RealCheck: A Powerful Deepfake Detection Solution
New Standalone Solution Assesses Both Video Content Manipulation Likelihood and Malicious Intent, Delivering an Unprecedented Layer of Protection Against AI-generated Scams
Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced the launch of Bitdefender RealCheck, a standalone solution that helps consumers evaluate the authenticity of video content circulating across digital platforms and whether it carries malicious intent — such as financial fraud, credential theft, or defamation. As deepfakes proliferate across social media at an unprecedented pace, Bitdefender RealCheck gives consumers a powerful and accessible tool to separate fact from fabrication before they trust, share, or act on what they see.
Deepfakes have become one of the most effective tactics in a cybercriminal's playbook. Deloitte predicts generative AI could drive fraud losses to $40 billion in the U.S. alone by 2027. According to a Bitdefender global survey of 7,000 consumers, deepfake scams ranked as the top security concern — and social media has now surpassed every other channel as the leading medium for successful scams. Additionally, research found that consumers correctly identify high-quality deepfakes only 24.5% of the time.
