Bitdefender has launched RealCheck, a standalone deepfake detection solution for Android and iOS devices. The app analyses video content from social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok to assess manipulation likelihood and malicious intent. Users submit video links or files for multi-layered analysis, receiving detailed reports that evaluate deception risk segment by segment rather than simple yes-no verdicts. The solution identifies impersonated public figures and allows users to share reports with others. Bitdefender RealCheck is available now in 14 countries, including the US, UK and Australia. Pricing starts at $4.99 monthly for 200 checks, with a premium tier at $12.99 monthly for 600 checks. Both plans include a seven-day free trial. The launch comes as Deloitte predicts generative AI could drive fraud losses to $40 billion in the US by 2027.

Bitdefender has integrated its security technology into Swisscom's new home network protection solution, delivering cybersecurity directly through the router. The collaboration addresses growing threats to connected households, which now average 22 devices and face over 30 attempted network attacks daily. The Smart Home Security technology provides network-level defence against malware, phishing and other threats for all connected devices, including laptops, smartphones and IoT devices, without requiring individual device installation. A Bitdefender survey of 7,000 consumers found 58% don't use third-party security on computers and 82% lack protection on tablets. The integration operates seamlessly in the background whilst maintaining performance. Swisscom, Switzerland's leading telecommunications provider, employs around 23,000 people and serves customers across multiple markets.

Bitdefender has appointed Frank Koelmel as chief revenue officer for its Business Solutions Group.
