iProov, the world’s leading provider of science-based biometric identity verification solutions, today announced that it surpassed one million daily transactions in 2025, marking a definitive shift in the global security landscape. As generative AI fuels large-scale impersonation imagery and remote work reshapes enterprise security, identity has become the perimeter, and high-assurance verification is essential to defending against industrial-scale attacks.
In 2025, lifelike deepfakes became commonplace, and the digital world reached a critical inflection point, with identity becoming the most consequential attack surface for the modern enterprise. A Gartner study found that 62% of organizations experienced a deepfake attack in the past year, as attackers prioritize “stealth and identity compromise” over other exploits. Organizations are now acknowledging that breaches are rarely about “breaking in,” but about “logging in” using sophisticated synthetic media against legacy identity controls. This has fueled a market-wide pivot toward identity resilience, securing the new perimeter at the point of human authenticity.
“As deepfakes and AI agents transform the enterprise attack surface, identity becomes the foundation of digital trust,” said Andrew Bud, founder and CEO of iProov. “ With well over one million daily verifications, iProov delivers genuine human presence assurance so organizations can secure customer and workforce identities by anchoring every critical digital interaction to a real, verified human, transforming authentication into a live defense for the AI era.”
Threat Intelligence: Leading the Research into AI-Driven Fraud
As threat actors shift from lone-wolf attacks to industrial-scale “Crime-as-a-Service” (CaaS) models, iProov’s Security Operations Center (iSOC) has become an industry-leading source for identity threat data. In 2025, iProov published a series of reports documenting the escalation of the AI-driven identity arms race.
- Threat Intelligence Report 2025: revealed a 2,665% surge in native virtual camera attacks and a 300% increase in face swap attempts year-over-year.
- MITRE ATLAS™ Publication: published a critical vulnerability in the KYC process, providing a blueprint to mitigate automated onboarding attacks.
- The Deepfake Blindspot Study: independent research among 2,000 consumers found that only 0.1% could accurately identify deepfake media, confirming that automated, science-based detection is a non-negotiable requirement.
- Exposing Grey Nickel: identified the “Grey Nickel” threat group, coordinated in their use of synthetic identities to target banking and payment platforms.
- iOS Video Injection Discovery: uncovered a sophisticated tool that intercepts video streams at the OS level, bypassing standard liveness checks.
The Importance of ISO Accredited, Standards Aligned Testing
In a market saturated with self-proclaimed deepfake defenses, iProov maintains that trust must be proven through rigorous, independent third-party testing. It reinforces this commitment by submitting its technology to be tested by the world’s most demanding laboratories to ensure its defenses are robust and transparent.
Key benchmarks of independent validation in 2025 include:
- Deepfake Resilience: First biometric vendor to be independently validated for deepfake resilience, in alignment with the latest NIST 800-63-4 digital identity guidelines.
- iProov passed testing against CEN TS 18099 Level 2 (High) and Ingenium Biometrics Level 4 for protection against deepfakes and forged media, the only global standard for IAD, undertaken by an ISO 17025-accredited testing lab and completed in September 2025 (Announced in February 2026).
- UK DIATF Accreditation: Certified in late 2025 against the UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF) Gamma (0.4) standard, a statutory, legally recognized framework overseen by the Office for Digital Identities and Attributes (OfDIA).
Market Validation
iProov’s technical leadership was validated through inclusion in over 25 major industry analyst reports in 2025:
- Gartner® Dominance: Featured in 11 distinct reports, including the Market Guide for User Authentication, Innovation Insight for Biometric Authentication, and the Hype Cycle for Digital Identity.
- Acuity Market Intelligence: Secured a clean sweep in the Prism Reports, leading the Flagship, Privacy & Compliance, and Deepfake & Synthetic Identity Prisms.
- Strategic Recognition: Named as a leader or key vendor by KuppingerCole, Liminal, IDC, ABI Research, Juniper Research, Omdia, and Goode Intelligence.
Customer Highlights

It was also selected and participated, as one of four suppliers, for the UK Home Office research and development environment trials to enhance security and efficiency at UK maritime ports.
- Financial Services: Secured millions of users for MoMo (Vietnam) and UnionDigital Bank (Philippines), and provided secure account recovery for Raiffeisen Bank.
- UK Property Market: Deployed by Thirdfort to help mitigate the £1.6 billion in property fraud risk, by securing high-value legal transactions against sophisticated identity theft.
Product Innovation
- Workforce Identity Resilience: Launched facial biometric MFA support for enterprise workforces to prevent employee impersonation and account takeover.
- Biometrics On-the-Move: Announced the general availability of biometrics for Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP), purpose-built to increase operational efficiency, U.S. international traveler arrivals throughput, and security at U.S. airports.
- Agentic Launchpad – In December 2025, iProov was one of 13 pioneering software companies selected by Microsoft, in collaboration with NVIDIA and WeTransact, to join the Agentic Launchpad. The programme is designed to empower the next generation of AI innovation across the UK and Ireland.
