AI/ML Reken launches AI security platform for on-device communication analysis July 16, 2026 Share By SC Staff (Adobe Stock) As outlined in Biometric Update, Reken has emerged from stealth after two years of development with an AI security platform designed to analyze communications directly on users’ devices. The platform aims to combat sophisticated social engineering attacks, including phishing, impersonation, and business email compromise, which are increasingly difficult to detect with the rise of generative AI. Reken's Private Core platform, powering its Northstar application, utilizes three key components: Model Zero for threat analysis, Trust Sensor for verifying human activity and outgoing communications, and a Reken API for integration. The system processes communications locally on devices, avoiding the need for GPUs and reducing the attack surface associated with cloud processing. This approach also mitigates usage costs associated with querying commercial foundation models. The company, co-founded by former Google fraud and trust-and-safety expert Shuman Ghosemajumder, is targeting the growing challenge of distinguishing genuine communications from AI-generated fakes. While tested in Fortune 500 environments, Reken has not yet released performance benchmarks or independent evaluations. The company plans to expand the Private Core's deployment to the Reken Network to create a broader ecosystem for trust signals in communications.
