The company had raised more than $50 million to invest in its patented technology. Incode states that integrating that technology enhances its privacy-first architecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always believed that privacy and fraud prevention are not a trade-off, but part of the same problem, solved together or not at all,\u201d says Ricardo Amper, founder and CEO of Incode, in the company announcement. \u201cIdentiq is the piece that enhances our Privacy by Design architecture, the natural culmination of the decisions we made on day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three architectural decisions made by Incode at its inception form the foundation of the company\u2019s privacy commitment, according to the company announcement. They include AI-first identity verification that limits human access to biometrics, ID documents and liveness detection data to optional situations in which human oversight is needed, on-device processing of its facial age estimation and IDV software, and now realizable with the acquisition of Identiq, collaboration without the risk of exposing or centralizing customer data to create a huge attack surface.<\/p>\n<p>Incode frames the acquisition as part of a $100 million commitment to privacy-preserving identity infrastructure. Portions of that investment will go towards enhancing Incode\u2019s on-device processing capabilities, global footprint and engineering resources, and R&#038;D in privacy-enhancing technologies.<\/p>\n<h2>A new approach for an altered threat landscape<\/h2>\n<p>Data from Incode\u2019s work shows that fraud attempts by AI agents has leaped from only 3 percent of the total in 2024 to 40 percent in the first quarter of this year. The company sees that number rising beyond 90 percent in the next 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>This threat can be&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biometricupdate.com\/202606\/incode-acquires-identiq-to-establish-privacy-first-fraud-prevention-network\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incode acquires Identiq to establish privacy-first fraud prevention network https:\/\/www.biometricupdate.com\/202606\/incode-acquires-identiq-to-establish-privacy-first-fraud-prevention-network Publish Date: 2026-06-25 12:00:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":281585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/d1sr9z1pdl3mb7.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/17104116\/acquisitions-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281583"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281583"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281583\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281587,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281583\/revisions\/281587"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
