NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

No target is too small for deepfake fraud in 2026. As attack sophistication escalates, everyone from the largest enterprise to the individual consumer is at risk of becoming a victim of AI-powered fraud through sophisticated attacks like deepfakes and injection attacks. This turns the onboarding process of consumer-facing digital commerce – from financial services to travel bookings – into a deep pool of targets for the modern fraudster.

With Deloitte predicting that AI-enabled fraud losses could reach $40 billion by next year, enterprises can’t ignore the risk. But they also can’t ignore consumer demand for frictionless onboarding, the exact circumstance that leaves their platforms’ basic identity verification process vulnerable to the new generation of fraud. To address this critical vulnerability for global enterprises, Jumio built the next phase of the AI arms race: Liveness Premium with Advanced Deepfake Detection.

Jumio launched its most advanced biometric liveness detection solution in June 2025, providing novel rigor to the process of proving that the individual holding an ID is the same person shown in the ID photo, that they are physically present during the transaction, and that they are a real person.

Liveness Premium elevates Jumio’s existing innovation through the deployment of deepfake-resistant biometric selfie analysis. It triangulates contextual data like device positioning with patented active illumination to exploit deepfake technology’s inability to respond to random ambient conditions – a technology unique to Jumio. Liveness Premium notably layers this deepfake-defying layer on top of a process already familiar to consumers – the ID + biometric selfie verification onboarding flow. This means that enterprises using Liveness Premium can secure their products and services against next-generation fraud without sacrificing the frictionless user experience their customers expect, while remaining highly scalable and adaptive to the threat pressures different industries face.

Customers using Liveness Premium are already seeing measurable value, with one leading LATAM finance startup now catching over 30% more sophisticated fraud attacks, including deepfakes and injection attacks. Jumio pairs this success with rigorous trust certifications, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS 4.0.1, and iBeta lab ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 compliance, all built on more than 300 issued patents and patent applications spanning nearly 100 unique patent families. The company has processed more than 1 billion transactions from real-time and mobile transactions, spanning more than 200 countries and territories.
