11 million 3D liveness checks a day…

That’s the scale at which Facetec is now operating and it tells you everything about how fast demand for genuine remote identity verification has grown.

In a recent interview, Alberto Lima, SVP of Business Development at Facetec, breaks down why the gap between perceived and actual security is one of the biggest risks facing organisations today. Digital transformation was already accelerating before COVID, and the pandemic turbocharged the adoption of technologies that, frankly, weren’t built to a high enough standard. The result of which is companies discovering fraudulent accounts built with synthetic data after they’ve already gone live.

The industry is rightly focused on more sophisticated threats recently, such as deepfakes injected into streams, man-in-the-middle attacks and synthetic presentation on screens. But Alberto’s point is that legacy methods still work. Basic presentation attacks remain effective against a surprising number of solutions in production today. The threat has evolved, but a lot of the technology defending against it hasn’t.
