HYDAWAY DIGITAL'S REALITYCHEK FEATURED IN BIOMETRIC UPDATE'S 2026 DEEPFAKE FRAUD DETECTION MARKET REPORT

Hydaway Digital Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, RealityChek, has been included in the 2026 Deepfake Fraud Detection Market Report, published by Biometric Update. RealityChek is featured organically in the report's vendor directory, placing the company's artificial intelligence detection and content verification platform among the solution providers shaping this rapidly emerging sector.

The report is a 91-page independent market analysis and buyer's guide produced by Biometric Update in partnership with Goode Intelligence. It examines the technologies, standards, market dynamics and competitive landscape driving deepfake fraud detection, including AI-enabled identity fraud, injection attack detection, liveness detection, procurement considerations and market forecasts through 2028, alongside profiles of the vendor ecosystem. RealityChek's inclusion was editorial -- the company was identified and listed on the strength of its platform, not through paid placement.

An independent signal of momentum

"Being picked up organically by an independent industry report like this is exactly the kind of external validation we've been working toward," said Karl Kottmeier, chief executive officer of Hydaway. "Biometric Update and Goode Intelligence track this market closely, and having RealityChek recognized alongside the sector's established players -- without us seeking it out -- tells us the platform is being noticed on its merits. It's a meaningful marker as deepfake detection moves from a niche fraud tool into core identity infrastructure."

The recognition comes as demand for deepfake detection accelerates. Generative AI has reshaped the economics of identity fraud, lowering the cost of sophisticated attacks while increasing their scale and realism. As deepfakes, synthetic identities and injection attacks push organizations to rethink how they secure digital identity, detection is increasingly treated as a foundational layer protecting identity verification, authentication, account recovery, digital wallets and AI-enabled services.
