As artificial intelligence accelerates innovation, it also fuels one of the most alarming threats in the digital age — deepfakes. These AI-generated videos, photos, and audio clips are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from real content, posing serious risks to national security, personal privacy, political integrity, and public trust. Rising to meet this challenge, Indian cybersecurity powerhouse Zero Defend Security has launched Vastav AI, an advanced deepfake detection system designed to bring authenticity back into the digital ecosystem.

What Is Vastav AI and Why It Matters
Vastav AI, meaning “reality” in Hindi, is a state-of-the-art system built to detect AI-generated or tampered media with exceptional accuracy — up to 99%. Developed by renowned cybersecurity researchers of Zero Defend Security, the platform combines artificial intelligence, data forensics, and real-time analytics to flag and explain fake content across video, image, and audio formats. In a world flooded with misinformation, Vastav AI empowers governments, journalists, corporations, and citizens to verify the truth before the damage is done.
How It Works: A Deep Look into Deepfake Detection
At the core of Vastav AI lies a smart detection engine that analyzes digital content across multiple layers. The system uses heatmaps to visually highlight manipulated regions, generates a confidence score indicating the likelihood of falsification, and extracts metadata insights to trace any inconsistencies. Upon completion, users receive a comprehensive verification report in multiple formats such as PDF, JSON, or DOCX — making it suitable for court evidence, investigations, or internal audits. The platform is optimized for real-time performance, enabling swift detection without compromising accuracy.
Recognized Innovation: Awarded at CIDECODE 2025
The breakthrough technology behind Vastav AI was recognized at the CIDECODE 2025 Hackathon, hosted by CID Karnataka, where it was awarded for its innovation, national relevance, and technological excellence. With growing concerns about manipulated videos during elections, financial scams using AI voice cloning, and synthetic celebrity impersonations, the demand for such a tool has skyrocketed — and Vastav AI arrives as a timely solution.
Access and Future Plans
Zero Defend Security has ensured that government agencies and law enforcement units will receive free access to Vastav AI, allowing for swift, secure adoption in critical investigations and public safety missions. A subscription-based model is in development for media organizations, private firms, and individual users. The company is also working on API integrations to allow seamless use of Vastav AI across web platforms and forensic software.
In addition to this innovation, Zero Defend Security continues to lead in other areas of cybersecurity — offering services such as ransomware mitigation, cloud and endpoint protection, DDoS defense, penetration testing, and specialized training programs in ethical hacking, OSINT, mobile app security, and digital forensics.
Vastav AI isn't just a product — it's a shield against digital deceit. Developed with precision, powered by intelligence, and made in India, it stands as a powerful testament to the nation's growing leadership in cyber innovation and trust technologies.
