Forbes: TrueScreen, the Startup Combatting Fake Images in Our Digital Era
In this interview with Forbes, the CEO of TrueScreen, Fabio Ugolini, shed light on how our cybersecurity solution can combat the rise of “fake images” in the digital landscape.
In fact, in the digital age we live in, images that circulate on the internet can be “challenging”. Digital manipulation of photos has made it possible to create images that appear authentic but actually depict distorted situations. This phenomenon has consequences both in the legal field and in the dissemination of misleading information.
To effectively address this issue, the startup TrueScreen, founded by Fabio Ugolini and Giuseppe Travasoni, aims to certify any multimedia file captured through smartphones or tablets, attributing it legal and probative value.
The potential of TrueScreen was put to the test in a real context during the tragic flood that hit Emilia-Romagna. On that occasion, the application was made available for free to citizens to legally certify the damages incurred, generating certified evidence that can be used in insurance procedures or potential legal disputes.

The strength of TrueScreen lies in its advanced technology and the certification process it follows. The app utilizes patented algorithms to analyze the distinct characteristics of each multimedia file and the device in use, including data and metadata. Once a file is certified by TrueScreen, it acquires legal and probative value that can be recognized in courtrooms or other legal contexts.
“We know that 94% of the content we see on the internet comes from mobile devices. If we want to limit deepfakes, we need to take action with software that is easily accessible from these types of devices. We like to think that anyone can have the truth at their fingertips. With a simple click. Because if you have the application on your smartphone, you may never need it, but in case you do…”
