?? Last week, FinCEN released an alert regarding deepfakes in financial fraud. Red flags for deepfake detection include: ?? ?Identity documents showing signs of tampering ??? Same image is used across multiple identity documents ??? Inconsistencies between document data and the user's provided PII ??? Unusual behavior traits or third-party plugins during verification ??? Inconsistent geographic or device data ???Potential use of gen AI or deepfake content in customer profiles While many in the industry are just beginning to grasp the severity of the threat posed by deepfakes, Socure has been proactively working to build and implement a comprehensive strategy to tackle these challenges head-on. On this final day of International Fraud Awareness Week, we’ve released a new blog covering Socure’s defense-in-depth approach to document verification and how our offerings align with the red flags raised by FinCEN.

"I think B2B enterprise, especially the large enterprise sales is always hard. Top five banks say,?come back to us when you're a grownup company. There's oh, you guys are too small. You don't have enough money in the bank. There's too much risk.?I think the number of rejections and the number of delays and the number of multi-year sales cycles are the thing that to me, when I think back 12 years ago, we're now pushing 3000 customers. We service pretty much every major consumer FinTech. We service almost every major bank. We're in 28 states.?So I think the biggest thing for me is overcoming?the number of times you hear no, the number of times you hear not now."

When Socure’s Senior Director of Product Marketing Brooke Snelling Vixamar filed for maternity leave benefits with her state, she experienced how frustrating it can be when antiquated identity verification systems create barriers to government services. Her state’s identity verification was slow and inaccurate, causing her benefits to be significantly delayed. Between snail mail updates and manual review processes, not to mention the hours Brooke was forced to spend on hold with their phone system while caring for her new infant, it took a whopping 13 weeks for her to receive her first state maternity benefit check. ?? This underscored for Brooke the importance of Socure’s revolutionary identity verification solutions — because no one should have to experience such friction and delays when accessing state benefits. Brooke is inspired to continue building the future of #IdentityCertainty with Socure, driven by our mission to verify 100% of good identities and completely eliminate fraud. This week is #InternationalFraudAwarenessWeek, and it’s as important a time as any to remember that fraud prevention systems should stop fraudsters without causing friction for good users. ?? Socure’s identity verification solutions power risk and trust decisions that help government institutions stop fraudsters while ensuring fair and seamless access to good users.

Exciting news! ?? Today we announced the launch of Graph Intelligence, an innovative addition to Socure's identity fraud suite.

Graph Intelligence enables organization to: ?? Gain direct access to and visualize the intricate web of 1.5 billion PII connections across Socure's vast network. ??

Establishing trust during account opening is crucial, but digital service providers must remain just as vigilant throughout the customer lifecycle. ?? Institutions have long relied on static identity controls and transaction monitoring that fail to capture the dynamic nature of digital identities and their ever-evolving behaviors — leaving organizations vulnerable to account takeover fraud, payment scams, reputational damage, and substantial financial losses. With Socure’s holistic, dynamic approach to identity and risk management, customers can stay one step ahead of even the savviest bad actors. With Socure’s RiskScores solution, customers can accurately assess the fraud risk of an identity by determining the extent to which provided emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses are both trustworthy and strongly correlated with or owned by the known identity. We’re committed to continuously improving the accuracy of our solutions.?Here’s a preview of the latest performance jumps for RiskScores: ?? Email RiskScore fraud capture rates improved an additional 12%, to 68% at the 5% risk depth. ?? Phone RiskScore fraud capture rates improved by nearly 17%, to 59.7% at the 5% risk depth. ?? Address RiskScore fraud capture rates improved by 12%, to 50.7% at the 5% risk depth. In our fourth installment of Socure’s Outperform Blog series, we're highlighting Socure's commitment to radical transparency in the performance enhancements of our solutions — and the tangible benefits this brings to our customers.

On this Veterans Day, I wanted to share some reflections: The military teaches you selfless service and dedication to protecting others. Most people see obvious applications in fighting enemies overseas, but don't realize the military mindset and core values of veterans don't end with their service. Take me for example. When I got out of the military in 2008, so many incredible companies were trying to do good things for members of the military and veteran community - whether it was discounts, or employment opportunities, or special benefits offered exclusively to people who served. But back then, there really wasn't any way to prove you had served if you weren't in for a full 20 year career. There wasn't an emblem added to your drivers license like we have today in most states. And I was shocked to learn there was a real issue with "Stolen Valor" - people pretending to have served in the military to take advantage of the goodwill. I know, right? My first use case in co-founding ID.me was tackling the issue of stolen valor and making it easier for people who legitimately served to access benefits and services. I share that story to demonstrate that the military continues to influence what I'm doing as a civilian to this day. And I know a lot of other veterans out there are doing the same. Protecting and serving in whatever civilian job they are working, continuing to bring all the things they learned in the military to make America the amazing country that it is. So first, I want to say thank you to all the veterans out there. Not only for your service while you in the military, but for continuing to bring your A-game every day in civilian life. And second, to all of you with veterans as family, friends, and colleagues, this is the day to reach out and tell them you see them, you appreciate them, and you love them. Happy Veterans Day!
