Dune Security and Reality Defender Partner to Stop AI-Generated Media Threats Targeting Enterprises
Deepfakes and AI-generated attacks are targeting employees faster than legacy tools can keep up. Dune Security and Reality Defender are partnering to deliver layered protection against these threats, combining real-time detection with user layer intelligence.


Synthetic media threats, including AI-generated and -manipulated voice and video, are rapidly evolving, bypassing traditional security measures and directly targeting employees. These impersonation attacks are becoming more convincing, more frequent, and increasingly difficult to detect with legacy tools.
To meet this challenge, Dune Security is partnering with Reality Defender to deliver full-spectrum protection for the user layer, combining real-time AI-driven threat detection with proactive, behavior-based intelligence and resilience across the workforce.
Together, we help organizations reduce exposure, validate controls, and ensure employees are prepared to detect and respond to AI-generated threats when it matters most.
Why This Partnership Matters
Dune Security and Reality Defender both focus on protecting the user layer, the true target of these attacks, but from complementary angles.
Reality Defender uses technical controls to detect and stop synthetic media threats before they ever reach employees. Meanwhile, Dune Security identifies which employees are most vulnerable and proactively prepares them to recognize and respond to the threats they do encounter – including those originating outside monitored channels.
The result is true layered protection: Reality Defender reduces the volume of threats reaching the workforce, while Dune ensures employees are ready for the ones that do.
Reality Defender’s Role
Reality Defender provides enterprise-grade threat detection for synthetic voice, image, video and text content. Its AI models determine whether a piece of media is real or generated, flagging deepfakes and AI-manipulated media before they can be weaponized.
Delivered through an API, Reality Defender easily integrates into platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and internal phone systems. With a configurable detection rate, and extremely low false positives, it provides a layer of protection against synthetic media attacks before they reach employees.
Dune Security’s Role
Even the strongest technical defenses can’t block every threat. That’s why Dune Security focuses on building resilience within the workforce – starting well before an attack occurs.
Our User Adaptive Risk Management platform exposes which employees are most susceptible to synthetic content through real-world deepfake simulations and behavioral risk scoring. Then, we close those gaps with targeted training programs that remediate vulnerabilities and build lasting readiness. Our customized Studio learning experiences focus specifically on deepfake and impersonation scenarios, ensuring employees can confidently recognize and neutralize threats before damage is done.
Unified Defense Strategy for Synthetic Media Threats
For companies already using Reality Defender, Dune Security can run controlled synthetic media attack simulations to validate detection performance and measure real-world readiness.
This layered defense approach protects the user layer from both sides: Reality Defender stops the majority of threats at the gate, and Dune Security ensures the workforce is prepared for the ones that get through.
Together, we help enterprise security teams:
- Reduce the volume of synthetic media reaching employees.
- Build a resilient, well-trained workforce capable of identifying sophisticated attacks.
- Validate the performance of detection systems through real-world simulation testing.
- Protect the user layer from both technical and human angles, closing every gap attackers could exploit.
Synthetic media threats are reshaping the social engineering landscape – creating new, harder-to-detect paths to breach the enterprise.
By combining scalable detection with continuous user risk intelligence, Dune Security and Reality Defender give enterprise defenders a complete, measurable strategy to secure the user layer ensuring synthetic media threats are identified, tested, and contained.

Synthetic media threats such as AI-generated voice, video, and images are evolving at machine-speed. Attackers now impersonate executives, vendors, and colleagues with unprecedented realism, bypassing filters and controls to target employees directly. These threats exploit human trust, making it difficult for even cautious users to distinguish real from fake. As a result, enterprises face attacks that are not only more frequent but also far more convincing, creating new pathways to breach that legacy tools alone cannot prevent.
The fallout goes far beyond IT. Deepfake and impersonation attacks can lead to fraudulent transactions, data exposure, reputational damage, and operational disruption. Because these attacks exploit trust, the consequences extend to brand credibility, customer confidence, and board level governance. Synthetic media is not only a technical risk, it is a material business risk that enterprises must address.
User risk is the likelihood and business impact that an employee becomes the point of initial access or escalation for an attacker. It reflects how susceptible a person is under pressure or deception, which channels expose them, and how that exposure changes over time. 90% of breaches still start with human behavior, not with a technical failure, which makes user risk the most critical surface to understand and reduce.

Yes. Reality Defender users can extend their defenses with Dune Security by adding controlled deepfake simulations, behavioral risk scoring, and targeted training through the Dune Studio platform. This not only validates detection performance in real-world conditions, but also equips employees to recognize and stop advanced social engineering attacks. The outcome is fewer synthetic threats reaching employees, a trained workforce ready to handle sophisticated attempts, and end-to-end protection of the user layer from both technical and human angles.
