Jericho Security, a Pentagon-backed firm specializing in cybersecurity, has secured $15 million in funding to combat the rising tide of AI-powered deepfake scams. The investment will bolster the company’s development of advanced AI-driven detection tools designed to identify and neutralize fraudulent voice and video impersonations. Deepfake scams are rapidly becoming a major financial threat, projected to cost North American businesses $200 million in 2025. Jericho Security aims to mitigate these substantial losses by providing robust, AI-powered defenses against increasingly sophisticated deepfake attacks.
