ID FRAUD PREVENTION

How do we detect and stop the use of fake IDs?

Fraudsters are tricky and fake IDs are cheap and easily purchased on the darkweb. Our software starts with in-depth analysis of the ID’s format, data, and embedded security features. Then we layer on third party checks against multiple external sources to provide deep confirmation of a document’s legitimacy.

Protection against generative AI

Our software looks for signs of physical and digital tampering , as well as hallmarks of AI-generated imagery.

Why do traditional, manual ID checks fail to stop fraud?

Simply put, fake IDs have gotten too good. Fraudsters are using AI to deeply analyze the templates and trackstrings on legitimate IDs to reverse engineer their designs. This means even low cost fake IDs appear legitimate to the naked eye, and may even pass basic scanning software.

In order to catch modern fake IDs you need to examine the document much more deeply than any individual is capable of. You need ID fraud prevention software.

We scanned more than 19,000,000 IDs and analyzed the results to bring you the top trends, riskiest jurisdictions, and tips to enhance your security and protect your business.
