Reports
RFP evaluation framework with mandatory requirements (ISO/IEC 30107-3, SOC 2 Type II, EU AI Act Article 50) and high-priority criteria (FAR <0.1%, sub-2s verification, 99.9% uptime). Includes scoring framework for vendor qualification.
Reports
Client trust analysis exposing 2,665% injection attack surge, 1-in-20 fraudulent verifications, and voice cloning risks. Explains how these three vectors reshape renewal conversations and what providers must demonstrate to win client confidence.
Reports
Threat landscape report documenting attacks every 5 minutes, 704% surge in biometric bypass attempts, and 50% liveness failure rates. Outlines five defense strategies and regulatory requirements from EU AI Act, U.S., and APAC mandates.
Reports
Implementation guide for deploying deepfake detection in 1-5 days via Cloud API, Hybrid, or On-Prem architectures. Includes production benchmarks (250ms-450ms latency), API examples, and 4-week deployment roadmap.
Reports
Technical research exposing 80-100% bypass rates for replay, injection, and deepfake attacks across commercial liveness systems. Documents why motion-based PAD fails and how forensic-grade detection strengthens IDV pipelines.
Reports
Cost analysis revealing how manual fraud reviews waste 275-375 hours per 1,000 IDs, drive $355K-$1.06M retraining expenses, and create 35-40% onboarding drop-offs. Includes Tier-1 bank case study achieving 95% fraud reduction.
Reports
Executive threat intelligence brief covering 2,137% fraud surge, $1.23B in H1 2025 penalties, and 85-97% biometric bypass success rates. Includes TD Bank $3.09B fine analysis and documented cases from Singapore, Canada, and Hong Kong.
Reports
Regional threat intelligence exposing 828% deepfake growth in Brazil, 509% fraud surge in Argentina, and 533% increase in Colombia. Includes country-level attack benchmarks, fraud economics, and strategic guidance for LATAM financial institutions., LATAM is entering a critical phase where forensic-grade detection is essential for maintaining trust, compliance, and secure onboarding.
Reports
Adoption is global. Readiness is not. From the EU's deliberate approach to Latin America's urgency-driven innovation, regulatory trajectories differ dramatically while the threat remains universal. This white paper compares how three regions approach deepfake threats and digital identity readiness, revealing why some banks deploy detection today while others wait for regulatory clarity.
Reports
Deepfake fraud is no longer theoretical, it's operational. This Deloitte & DuckDuckGoose paper reveals how generative AI drives billions in financial losses today. With 25.9% of institutions already hit, fraud-as-a-service platforms selling deepfakes for $15, and 700% surge in fintech attacks, banks face an urgent credibility crisis.
Reports
This technical brief includes attack classification frameworks, production telemetry from 60 million identity checks, detection challenge analysis for diffusion-era threats, and layered control architecture recommendations. Access the operational data security architects and fraud prevention teams use to calibrate defenses against synthetic identity attacks.
Reports
Deepfakes have evolved from entertainment tools into precision fraud weapons. This white paper reveals how attackers exploit identity verification gaps, and how leading organizations are closing them.
Reports
Detection isn't about perfection, it's about measurable, consistent improvement. This study reveals how adaptive AI stays ahead of adversarial generation without sacrificing operational efficiency.
Reports
For identity verification leaders evaluating build versus buy, short pilots de-risk decisions before long-term commitments. This guide helps product, engineering, and risk teams assess whether they can realistically ship, maintain, and update detection, or partner externally.
