Deepfake is dead: how Unissey revolutionizes the fight against identity fraud

In the digital age, identity fraud is taking increasingly sophisticated forms. Among them, deepfake has emerged as a major threat to businesses and individuals. According to a recent report, the number of deepfakes in circulation increased by 900% between 2022 and 2023.

Financial institutions, government services, and digital platforms are on the front lines of this battle. As we discussed in a previous article, a successful attack can lead to massive financial losses, compromise of sensitive data, and erosion of customer trust in online services.

Faced with this growing threat, Unissey has developed a remote identity verification solution using facial biometrics that is redefining the fight against deepfakes. Our innovative approach allows us to confidently state: "Deepfake is dead". 

Here's why our solution is the most effective on the market to counter this threat.

A unique cybersecurity or "multi-layer" approach in the world

Unlike traditional anti-deepfake solutions that focus on the content of the image or video, Unissey offers media-agnostic technology that analyzes the entire environment to detect signs of an attack. Our solution allows for verifying a set of parameters one by one, including the use of a virtual camera, successive media compressions, intervention in the browser code, up to the detection of a potential attack.

The major advantage of this "multi-layer" approach is its genericity. By focusing on injection methods rather than specific deepfake generation techniques, Unissey remains effective against the rapid evolution of fake content creation technologies. Unlike content detection-based solutions, which require constant updates to keep up with the latest generative models, our cybersecurity approach offers long-lasting protection with minimal maintenance.

Double certification guaranteeing maximum security

While most deepfake attacks are digital, Unissey provides full-spectrum protection against both digital and physical presentation attacks. Our ISO 30107 and CEN/TS 18099-certified liveness detection technology ensures that all types of identity fraud attempts are detected and blocked.

We invite you to discover in this article the differences between presentation attacks and video injection attacks.

Optimized User Experience: Security Without Friction

One of the biggest challenges for security solutions is balancing strong protection with a smooth user experience.Unissey goes beyond just security—it also enhances the user journey with a passive verification process. Users are not required to perform any extra steps, making the experience fast, seamless, and frustration-free. 

To maintain top-tier security, our system integrates random verification checks, preventing fraudsters from predicting and replicating verification steps.

This randomization significantly strengthens resistance to adaptive attacks, making it extremely difficult for cybercriminals to bypass our defenses.

Bias-Free Technology for Universal Reliability

Bias in facial biometrics is a critical issue. For an identity verification system to be effective, it must work accurately for all users, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity.

At Unissey, universality is at the core of our technology. By focusing on attack methods rather than analyzing facial features, our cybersecurity-based approach is inherently free from demographic biases.

Unlike many solutions that struggle with fairness, Unissey provides equitable security for everyone, ensuring that identity verification is truly inclusive.
