Our mission is to preserve the credibility of digital media and protect companies from fraud involving manipulated images, videos, or documents with our solutions. We are active in all industries where the credibility of digital images is essential. Among other things, we prevent image-based insurance fraud and uncover document forgeries in the banking sector.

Your core contribution will be the strategic research and further development of the underlying neural network-based model architectures.
