If 2025 had a highlight reel of our best moments, it would be loud, fast, and full of momentum for the SWEAR team. This year delivered packed show floors, headline-worthy awards, and a major product milestone that brought content authentication straight into everyday security workflows. From Las Vegas to New York and everywhere in between, SWEAR spent 2025 sharing a clear message: truth matters, and video deserves protection from the moment it comes to life.
The year kicked off in style at CES 2025, where SWEAR returned for its second appearance and brought something big to the booth. The team unveiled the first public demonstrations of its enterprise platform, SWEAR Security, giving attendees a front-row seat to how content authentication fits into real-world security environments. Live demos sparked conversations all week as visitors watched video content gain a verified digital identity at capture. The moment reached a high point when SWEAR Security earned the CES 2025 Innovation Award in the Product in Support of Human Security category. Between demos, interviews, and nonstop booth traffic, CES set the tone for a year built around visibility, trust, and progress.
ISC West 2025 kept that energy rolling.
While AI buzz filled the show floor, SWEAR offered a clear answer to a growing challenge: verifying video authenticity at scale. The team officially launched SWEAR Security for enterprises, showing how security teams authenticate video directly inside existing environments. The momentum continued when SWEAR claimed its second consecutive SIA New Products and Solutions Award, this time in the Data and Systems Cybersecurity category. Conversations at the booth covered everything from deepfake awareness to evidentiary workflows, all backed by hands-on demos and a steady stream of curiosity.
Beyond the expo halls, SWEAR CEO Jason Crawforth brought the conversation to Securing New Ground 2025 in New York City. His time at SNG focused on the role of truth in modern security and the shared responsibility that comes with rapid advances in AI. Jason connected with industry leaders around the idea that collaboration shapes the future of security technology and keeps trust intact as tools evolve.
Awards followed SWEAR throughout the year like a shadow, but much shinier.
SWEAR Security earned finalist status at the Edison Best New Product Awards and the SXSW Innovation Awards, placing the platform among standout innovations across industries. Fast Company added further recognition by naming SWEAR a finalist in the Innovation by Design Awards for Artificial Intelligence Design and awarding an Honorable Mention in Data Design. TIME added to the momentum by naming SWEAR one of its 2025 Best Inventions, spotlighting the company’s AI-proof approach to digital authenticity and its impact across security, media, and public safety. Last but not least, Inc. capped off our year, including SWEAR on its 2025 Best in Business List in both the Social Good and Innovation categories, celebrating how we protect trust in digital media as AI-generated content continues to reshape the world.
This year, SWEAR reached another milestone (pun intended!) with its first-ever integration, bringing authenticity validation directly into Milestone XProtect. Operators can now verify footage inside the player during playback, see instant pass or fail results, and log validation events as part of case documentation. The integration keeps workflows smooth while delivering immediate confidence in every frame reviewed.
As 2025 wraps up, the SWEAR team would like to thank every partner, customer, and conversation that made the year memorable. Moving into 2026, SWEAR remains focused on vigilance, trust, and truth in the age of AI, with fresh momentum and plenty more planned for the year ahead. See you in the new year!
