Identy.io provides biometric authentication on mobile phones, for secure and user-friendly identity verification, enabling government and corporate customers to grow operations with a cost-effective suite of products.
The “best ABIS” is the one that makes identity decisions dependable when volume explodes: national registries, border systems, and digital onboarding funnels that must screen users in seconds. An automated biometric identification system supports both verification (1:1) and identification (1:N) by storing and matching biometric data at operational speed. Detect
Human trafficking continues to be among the most serious and complex human rights violations worldwide. It is a silent, highly organized crime that is difficult to detect, relying on the vulnerability of victims and the manipulation of their identity to facilitate their recruitment, transfer, and exploitation. In this context, biometric
As financial institutions and governments digitize services, identity theft has emerged as a top business risk. Cybercriminals now use AI deepfakes and synthetic identities to bypass traditional safeguards. Robust identity theft protection software must therefore blend advanced detection (dark-web scanning, AI anomaly analysis), passwordless/FIDO-compliant authentication, and strong compliance controls. Leading
We are living at the dawn of the age of artificial intelligence (AI), a technology that, since its widespread adoption in 2021, is revolutionizing everything at an astonishing speed. From entertainment to productivity, AI is everywhere, and among the tools that are having the greatest impact are deepfakes, especially in
On-device biometric authentication, using a customer’s own smartphone or tablet to verify identity via fingerprint biometric, facial biometric, or other biometric sensors, has emerged as a leading strategy for securing mobile banking. Unlike traditional OTP or server-side systems, on-device biometrics keeps sensitive templates on the user’s device, reducing fraud risk
Sheriffs occupy a unique position within U.S. law enforcement. As elected officials, they are directly accountable to their communities, balancing public trust with operational effectiveness every day. The responsibility to protect communities is reflected by a strong interest in technologies that modernize operations, improve accuracy and reduce friction in the
Deepfakes, AI-generated images, video or audio mimicking real people, threaten digital trust across fintech, banking, government and insurance sectors. Sophisticated fraudsters use deepfakes for voice or video phishing, identity theft and impersonation, undermining user confidence and business credibility. Organizations must deploy real-time detection tools and employee training to mitigate these risks.
The rapid pace of technological development in recent years has had a profound social impact, particularly in easing remote access to a wide range of services. Today, users can consult their medical history or follow-up treatments from the comfort of their homes. They can even complete social benefit applications without
Digital identity theft prevention and protection Identity theft remains a growing threat for financial and government services, challenging digital trust and user experience. In 2024 U.S. authorities received over 1.1 million identity-theft reports, underscoring the scale of the problem. New fraud patterns (e.g. tax-refund schemes, synthetic identities, AI-driven deepfakes) demand
Biometric identity verification for taxpayer accounts using facial recognition One high-profile example is the Internal Revenue Service’s attempt to use facial recognition for its online taxpayer accounts. In 2021 and 2022, the IRS verified users by matching a selfie to their photo ID before granting access to tax records. This
Crime remains one of the world’s most persistent social plagues. While theft and fraud continue to drain the global economy, crimes against personal integrity and freedom have become a top global priority—particularly in Latin America. In Mexico, for instance, more than 30,000 crimes against personal freedom were reported last year—a
In today’s fintech, banking, and government services, mobile channels carry high stakes. Account breaches and fraud not only incur financial losses but erode customer trust. Unfortunately, traditional passwords and OTPs are falling short. Credential theft remains rampant, IBM’s threat intelligence reports that stolen passwords are the leading cause of breaches,
