  • The solution integrates biometric checks into existing identity management systems.
  • Live checks are triggered during high-risk actions like password resets.

Sumsub has introduced a Workforce Verification solution to combat increasing risks from deepfakes and credential theft. This solution integrates identity document checks, biometric liveness detection, and background screening into existing identity and access management systems. It aims to verify employees from recruitment through account recovery, addressing vulnerabilities highlighted by a 2025 incident in Singapore where fraudsters used deepfake technology to impersonate executives. The system triggers live checks during high-risk actions such as password resets and privilege escalations. Sumsub claims its technology can detect deepfakes with an effectiveness rate of up to 99.98%. The product is designed for continuous use, enhancing security without disrupting existing workflows. Organizations can apply these identity checks to sensitive actions, thereby reducing impersonation risks. The launch reflects a broader trend of integrating advanced verification methods into enterprise security frameworks.
