Our take
With the rise of deepfake technology, sorting fact from fake is an increasing security and information priority. Truepic helps to achieve this, supplying users with the means to identify and protect the integrity of authentic images.
Traditionally, software focused on image security detects anomalies or image manipulation, but Truepic instead helps verify authenticity through "provenance-based media authentication". This approach is many times more scalable, which is why its tech has become a respected option in the space.
Truepic's platform is used by some notable clients including Ford Motor Company, Equifax and Palomar. With image security an increasing concern, the company has been presented a huge market opportunity. In line with this, it continues to earn industry recognition and secure impressive partnerships.
