Many government identity systems struggle to keep pace with today's fraud tactics. Ivan Anderson, Principal Solution Consultant, sat down with Fed Gov Today last month to highlight the identity signals and tactics the federal government should focus on to effectively fight fraud and modernize government services. "Any time you're looking at things from an identity lens, from a fraud lens, it's really important to understand: what does identity (when it's in its true form) look like? The only way to really fight fraud ... is to have an understanding of what those anomalies look like. How do we identify a signal that is indicative of fraudulent behavior and then attack that signal?" Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/ebAs9zvN

"What will matter more in your market over the next 12 to 18 months than most people are preparing for today?" Find out what our President and CCO Matthew Thompson said in the latest episode of Liminal's Friday Five!

You approved them in 2020. And 2021. And even 2025. Is everyone still who they said they were? Trust doesn't expire on a calendar. It expires quietly, one unrelated approval at a time. Some fraud isn't fast. It's patiently waiting for the moment nobody's looking back. Socure's Portfolio Scrub looks back at the identities already inside your book, not just the ones walking through the door. Because growth only counts if the base underneath it is still real.

Fraud doesn't take a break for conferences. So neither did we. Last week at #TrustCon, Socure showed up to do what we always do: push the conversation forward. Colton Pond, our Chief Marketing Officer, took on the Plenary stage to talk about what it actually takes to build trust at scale in an AI-native world where synthetic identities move faster than legacy systems can react. Off stage, we kept the same energy: real conversation with trust & safety leaders at our Socure Intelligence Community event. And at our booth, we made the stakes a little more fun (but just as real) with the Socure Trust Arcade: Whack-a-Fraudster, Fraud Fighter Skee Ball, and Identity Grab. The through-line across every session, conversation, and game? Trust isn't a checkbox. It's infrastructure. At Socure, that's the standard we hold ourselves to. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, played a round, or joined the conversation. The fight against fraud doesn't end when the conference does.

When Stefania K. sees a problem, she addresses it head on, building a centralized "source of truth" that's now a pre-go-live standard used across teams. Her feedback on tooling inefficiencies has driven new data fields and dashboards that directly reduce investigation time. That's candor with intent: not just identifying problems, but solving them. And not waiting for someone else to do it first. Congratulations to Stefania on being named an 2026 Socure Principle Award winner for Be Candid. 🎉

Fraud goes wherever the money is easiest to reach. So does everyone trying to stop it. This week's Frontlines of World War Fraud newsletter follows that trail across three battlefields: -Identity verification just became a real industry, not a compliance checkbox. -A near-anniversary flood in Texas gave us a live test of whether fraudsters chase disasters or chase dollars. -And in Washington, a policy fight is brewing over whether the privacy protections built for consumers are now shielding the criminals targeting them. Follow the money.

"Reputation" is having a cultural moment right now for reasons bigger than any one artist. Public trust in brands is eroding, personal brand has become currency, cancel culture has made reputation feel more fragile than ever, and AI deepfakes mean you can now lose your reputation to something you never even did. Reputation is earned. Don't leave it undefended. Our latest blog explores why protecting reputation now starts with protecting identity. Read the blog in the link below!

Bank account verification now sits at the intersection of fraud prevention, compliance, and customer experience. When it works, money moves quickly. When it doesn't, the impact shows up fast: ACH returns, fraud losses, abandoned onboarding, and operational strain. The question isn't whether you verify bank accounts. It's whether you're performing the right verification checks before funds move. Read our guide to see how your bank account verification strategy stacks up today.

88% of global deepfake fraud cases hit crypto. Not a security failure, but a rather ironic design flaw. Crypto built its verification layer to satisfy regulators, and that layer is exactly what deepfake attacks are designed to break. The blockchain was never the weak point. The KYC flow is.
