Arizona Tribune - Charm Security Partners with Reality Defender to Bring Deepfake Detection into Charm's Agentic AI Workforce for Fraud and Security

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2026 / Charm Security, the Agentic AI Workforce for scams and fraud prevention and resolution, and a 2026 RSAC Innovation Sandbox company, today announced a strategic partnership with Reality Defender, the 2024 RSAC Innovation Sandbox-winning leader in deepfake detection.

The partnership expands Charm's Agentic Workforce to provide financial institutions, digital platforms, and enterprises direct access to deepfake detection across voice, image, and text - delivered seamlessly through Charm's AI Agents. As deepfake-enabled fraud increasingly targets frontline staff and customer interactions, this joint solution helps fraud, financial crime, security, and customer-facing teams rapidly verify authenticity, assess risk in human context, and resolve cases better, faster, and with greater confidence.

Bringing Deepfake Detection to the Front Lines

Charm's Agentic AI workforce already works alongside fraud, financial crime, security, and customer-facing teams to investigate alerts, engage with end-users, and guide resolution in high-risk moments. Through this partnership, Charm's agents can now directly invoke Reality Defender's deepfake detection technology to assess whether voices, images, or text involved in an interaction are real or manipulated - without requiring teams to switch tools or escalate to specialists.

This integrated approach helps teams move faster, reduce uncertainty, and focus on protecting customers, rather than navigating fragmented security workflows.

"Deepfakes are fundamentally changing enterprise threats by attacking trust itself," said Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO of Reality Defender. "Teams leveraging Charm Security's Agentic Workforce can now identify manipulated communications in real time and respond before harm occurs."

Accelerating Resolution with Human Context

The partnership reflects Charm's broader strategy to make advanced fraud and security capabilities more accessible to the people who need them most. By embedding deepfake detection into its Agentic AI workforce, Charm enables teams to quickly validate authenticity while preserving critical human context - understanding not only whether something is fake, but how it is being used to manipulate or deceive. This capability builds on Charm's Psychology-First Fraud Agents, powered by the company's proprietary Human Vulnerabilities & Exploits (HVE™) model, which delivers real-time insight into human intent, manipulation, coercion, and deception - going beyond traditional transactional detection signals.

"Fraud and cybercrime are human attacks from the very first signal, increasingly powered by AI-generated content," said Roy Zur, Co-Founder and CEO of Charm Security. "By integrating Reality Defender's deepfake detection directly into Charm's AI agents, we're helping our customers resolve cases better and faster - without adding friction or complexity for professional teams. This partnership brings powerful capabilities exactly where decisions are made."

Together, Charm Security and Reality Defender are enabling financial institutions, digital platforms, and enterprises to move beyond siloed tools toward a more unified, AI-native defense model - one that combines psychological insight, real-time investigation, customer engagement, and authenticity verification in a single Agentic workflow.
