Polyguard Fights AI Fraud and Deepfakes with Real-Time Defense Tech

Polyguard, the first real-time defense against deepfakes and AI-powered fraud, is announcing the industry’s first real-time defense against deepfakes and AI-powered fraud. Centering its preventative, proactive approach, Polyguard aims to protect organizations’ personal and mission-critical communications against multi-channel fraud and impersonation threats. 

Alongside AI’s more positive innovation, AI-based scams, frauds, and attacks grow in tandem. According to Deloitte, U.S. financial industry losses are projected to hit $40 billion by 2027 due to AI-driven fraud—up from $12.3 billion in 2023. Deepfake scams are among the most pressing concerns, noted Polyguard, particularly due to traditional fraud detection tools’ inability to prevent impersonation attacks. 

Polyguard stops threats before they impact the business through several key capabilities, including real-time inbound and outbound number blocking (an industry first, according to Polyguard); caller ID spoofing protection; identity-verified encrypted calling channels; and secure video conferencing across mobile and desktop devices. Polyguard is equipped with a tamper-evident caller identity system—which prevents spoofing—as well as 3D facial recognition and hardware attestation, blocking digital fakes and device tampering. 

Polyguard integrates with call center software as well as meeting platforms like Zoom, enabling safe, global communications. With privacy-first principles, Polyguard ensures that All calls remain confidential, with sensitive data staying within its device. 

“Phone scams are at the heart of a $40B crime spree, and we are committed to stopping it at the technological source,” said Joshua McKenty, CEO and co-founder, Polyguard. “Everyone from bankers to high school students are facing an onslaught of deepfake-driven scams, from voice spoofing to video impersonation. Detection alone isn’t enough—by the time you realize a trusted caller ID is fake, the damage is done. We stop fraud before it starts, blocking spoofed calls in real-time and restoring trust in communications”
