Neural Defend

Neural Defend is a New York and Delhi-based cybersecurity startup building multimodal deepfake detection for enterprises. Founded in 2024 by MIT- and Intel-affiliated researchers, its proprietary AI spots AI-generated faces, manipulated video, cloned voices, and forged documents in real time - delivered as developer-friendly APIs and SDKs, plus on-premises deployments for banks, fintechs, and government. The pitch: make catching a deepfake as easy as an API call.
