Every year, financial institutions pour investment into stronger onboarding and authentication with new liveness checks, new identity verification layers, and new fraud controls. On paper, the defences look robust but in practice, many of them are not. 

That’s because most liveness detection deployed today is still built on 2D technology, matching a photo, a video frame, or a static image against a claimed identity. It was never designed to withstand what it’s now up against. Deepfake generation, injection attacks, and presentation attack kits have moved from proof-of-concept to industrialised products utilised by criminals. They’re packaged, supported, and sold as a commodity on the dark web, putting sophisticated spoofing capability in the hands of anyone willing to pay for it, no technical expertise required.

The result is a quiet but dangerous gap – the difference between the security an institution believes it has, and the security it actually has. Closing that gap isn’t a matter of tightening existing 2D checks. It requires a fundamentally different approach, one built for three-dimensional reality, not flat images that can be recreated, replayed, or generated on demand. 

Join us for a breakfast will show you exactly where that gap lives, and how to close it in your organisations without compromising the privacy of the customers you’re trying to protect, and without sacrificing the fast, frictionless experience they expect.
