Combatting the rising tide of digital identity fraud fueled by GenAI, Mitek’s Digital Fraud Defender equips financial institutions and enterprises with advanced capabilities to detect deepfakes, injection attacks, and template attacks as part of the Mitek Verified Identity Platform® (MiVIP).

SAN DIEGO, December 05, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK), a global leader in digital identity verification, mobile capture and fraud management, today announced Digital Fraud Defender (DFD), an advanced, multi-layered solution to safeguard digital identity verification processes against sophisticated AI-enabled fraud tactics. Designed for financial institutions, fintech, online gaming providers, and enterprises requiring remote identity verification, the new suite addresses the urgent and growing challenges posed by generative AI’s potential to create highly realistic fake images, documents, and videos.

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations are more vulnerable than ever to AI-driven attacks, including deepfakes, synthetic identity fraud, and account takeovers. According to Deloitte’s Center for Financial Services, fraud losses from generative AI could surge from $12.3 billion in 2023 to a staggering $40 billion by 2027. As incidents of deepfake fraud alone are projected to increase by 700% by 2031, DFD is the first holistic suite of defenses designed to protect organizations and their customers from these risks.

"Too many organizations, and identity vendors, are taking a one-off approach to addressing fraud vectors. They try to react to attacks one at a time," said Chris Briggs, Mitek’s Chief Products Officer. "Digital Fraud Defender was designed to fight AI with AI and enable our customers to outpace modern frauds with a holistic suite of tools."

Future-Proofing Identity Verification

As digital interactions grow, DFD equips organizations with the tools to counter advanced fraud techniques while maintaining robust identity verification processes. By leveraging DFD capabilities, clients mitigate risks, ensure compliance, and maintain customer trust in a rapidly changing digital fraud landscape.
