Deepware Scanner that we developed to provide an effective solution against “Deepfake” threat is software that instantly detects manipulated videos with its multi-layered mechanism. We are targeting the global market with Deepware Scanner, which provides an important service in the field of cyber security. The danger is great and capable of undermining all of us. This new technology we developed will detect this manipulated danger immediately.”
