Samsung Electronics Singapore and New York-based Reality Defender have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the development and deployment of an on-device deepfake detection solution for enterprises in Singapore. The proposed solution will help organisations identify AI-generated voice, video, and images on Samsung Galaxy devices.

“As AI-generated threats become more sophisticated, business leaders are looking for ways to identify risks earlier while protecting sensitive information. Through our partnership with Reality Defender, we aim to develop practical on-device deepfake detection solutions that can flag potential threats before data needs to be processed in the cloud. This approach can help organisations reduce exposure to digital risks while supporting their security and privacy priorities,” said Timothy Tan, Director and Head of Integrated Business, Samsung.

Reality Defender is an enterprise deepfake detection company. Its ensemble of AI models detects AI-generated voice, video and images in real time, from audio impersonation on live calls to deepfakes in KYC and onboarding.

“Our mission is to protect high-trust systems from AI-generated threats by verifying what is real in real time. For many organisations, the first place a deepfake lands is an employee’s phone. Our partnership with Samsung aims to bring Reality Defender’s detection directly onto Samsung Galaxy devices, working alongside Knox so teams can spot AI-generated impersonation before they act on it. And our detection is stateless by design: nothing enrolled, nothing stored,” said Ben Colman, Co-Founder and CEO, Reality Defender.

The urgency to combat deepfakes

Deepfakes have rapidly evolved into a serious digital threat, and pose risks that could have far-reaching impact on the nation. AI-generated voice, video and images can be used  to impersonate trusted individuals, mislead users, and undermine confidence in digital interactions.

A 2024 survey by Regula found that 56% of businesses in Singapore have faced incidents of audio deepfake fraud, while 52% of companies have reported experiences with video deepfakes. Separately,  scam victims in Singapore lost at least S$242.9 million in Government Officials Impersonation Scams in 2025, accounting for 26.6% of scam losses by amount.

Samsung and Reality Defender will collaborate to develop and deploy an on-device deepfake detection solution for Galaxy devices^[1]. By analysing content directly from the user’s secured Galaxy device, the proposed solution is intended to help organisations identify manipulated content while reducing the need to send sensitive data to the cloud for analysis.

Samsung’s security architecture is designed to protect data from the chipset level through to individual apps. On supported Samsung Galaxy devices, Knox Vault provides an isolated environment for sensitive data, separate from the main operating system. Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) can also create encrypted storage environments for individual apps, helping ensure that each app can access only its own protected information.
