ValidSoft VIP™ Wins Gold in 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for AI Voice Security

Trusted AI Voice Intelligence Platform recognized in the AI Security Solution category, judged by an independent panel of practitioners, analysts, and CISOs.

HARTFORD, CT, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ValidSoft's Trusted AI Voice Intelligence Platform (VIP™) has been named a Gold Award recipient in the AI Security Solution category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.

The recognition reflects VIP's technical differentiation, real-world impact, and contribution to advancing cybersecurity, as evaluated by an independent panel of cybersecurity practitioners, analysts, and CISOs from the Cybersecurity Insiders community.

"We congratulate ValidSoft's Trusted AI Voice Intelligence Platform (VIP™) on earning Gold Award recognition in the AI Security Solution category of the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards," said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. "Selected by an independent jury of cybersecurity practitioners, analysts, and CISOs, this recognition highlights the role of innovative security solutions in strengthening cybersecurity across organizations worldwide."

Voice Intelligence Platform VIP™ is built to protect against more than today's fraud typologies. It is designed to recognize human and non-human identities alike, so that as fraud shifts from deepfakes and impersonation toward autonomous AI agents acting on a person's behalf, the platform's approach holds up against threats that haven't fully emerged yet, not just the ones already in the headlines.

"To truly counter fraud, enterprises need the full AI Voice Trust Stack: Real Person, Right Person, Right Agent, Right Outcome," said Pat Carroll, CEO of ValidSoft. "These cannot be disconnected checks delivered by disparate solutions. They need to happen in real time, simultaneously, within the same interaction and through the same trust layer. Identity is the new perimeter, and voice is emerging as the most important interface to that perimeter, for humans today and AI agents tomorrow. Detecting what may be fake is the beginning. Establishing who or what can be trusted, what they are authorized to do, and ensuring the right outcome is the enterprise objective. That's why we built the AI Voice Trust Layer, and why this recognition means a great deal to our team."

Real Person. Right Person. Right Agent. Right Outcome.

VIP™ is built around the AI Voice Trust Stack, four questions that must be answered together, in real time, rather than as separate checks from separate vendors:

Is it a real person? — Voice Verity^® provides real-time deepfake, replay, and synthetic speech detection.

Is it the right person? — VoiceID™ provides passive and active voice biometric authentication and watchlist matching.

Is it the right agent? — VIP™ extends identity verification beyond human callers to the AI agents increasingly acting on their behalf, so authority can be established for non-human identities, not just human ones.

Is it the right outcome? — VoiceMFA™ cryptographically binds a verified identity, human or agentic, intent to a specific transaction or action.

Detection and identity verification are necessary. On their own, they're no longer sufficient. Authorized push payment fraud, coercion scenarios, and agentic AI acting outside its mandate can all pass identity checks and still produce the wrong outcome. VoiceMFA™ closes that gap by producing a record that is genuinely authorized, provable, non-repudiable, and immutable.

That's the argument the judges recognized: identity is not consent, presence is not mandate, and as AI agents take on more of the interaction itself, that principle has to extend to them too.
