Socure

Socure has been named #23 to the 2026 CNBC Disruptor 50! Here's how we disrupt: Digital trust is the first casualty of the AI era. $579B was lost to fraud globally last year, and AI is making attacks faster, cheaper, and harder to detect across every industry, every vertical, every interaction moving online. Socure is the only platform globally that stops fraud while consistently saying yes to trustworthy people. That's why 3,000+ customers trust us, including 18 of the top 20 banks, 600 fintechs, 132 public agencies, 4 of the top 5 social media platforms, the top 2 gig platforms. Excited to see many of our customers on the top 50 list too....congrats to Polymarket, Revolut, Kalshi, Cognite, Shield AI! This recognition tells us how important what we're building is and how strong our team is. Huge congratulations to every Socurean that made this possible!

There's a version of "age verification" that's basically an honor system. You ask users to type in their birthday. They do. Box checked. The problem isn't that people lie. It's that the system was never built to keep kids safe in the first place. And now regulators are starting to ask hard questions about the gap between what companies say they verify and what they actually do. Socure's passive age assurance closes that gap by using behavioral analytics and device intelligence to confirm age without adding friction or compromising privacy. The goal isn't surveillance. It's safety. Watch how it works → https://lnkd.in/gJHri57V

And yes, it really was Colton Pond on the floor of the NYSE. Thanks Remy Blaire and FINTECH.TV for having us!

Fraud 4.0 is here, and the stakes have never been higher. AI-driven attacks, shifting expectations for government agencies, and rising pressure on enterprises to deliver seamless, secure customer experiences. Keeping up is not enough. That’s why today we’re announcing our new partnership with Thomson Reuters bringing the trusted intelligence of Thomson Reuters CLEAR into RiskOS® our AI-first, real-time identity decisioning platform. “This partnership brings together Socure’s advanced machine-learning platform and Thomson Reuters’ robust data intelligence to create a new standard for digital identity verification and fraud prevention,” said Matthew Thompson, President and CCO at Socure. Together, we’re enabling a more proactive, prevention-first approach powered by next-generation identity and risk intelligence. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gvUZ8guq

It’s easy to say “fraud is always evolving,” but what does that actually mean? Fraud is like a virus. With every new barrier, it gets more creative. It adapts to survive. Which means that two institutions may face completely different fraud based on how advanced their controls are. Modern fraud prevention solutions not only block the fraud you face today, but have the capacity to adapt to the more advanced fraud you will inevitably face tomorrow – a direct result of your attempts to fight back. Socure’s Neal Gallucci spoke with the Center for Digital Government about why government agencies must learn to “think like a fraudster” in order to prepare for evolving fraud patterns. Key takeaways: • Fraudsters have the motivations of a business, like any other. They aim to maximize profits, with the added goal of going unnoticed. Understanding their motivations equips you to stay ahead of them. • Fraudsters will use any tools at their disposal. The reason fraud can evolve so rapidly is that AI and automation enables not only organized crime but also any individual to scale fraud easily and quickly. • Fraudsters create unusual patterns – if you’re looking. Even as fraud becomes more sophisticated, the anomalies are still there. Fraudsters create patterns that do not match normal behavior, and it becomes easier to see if you understand how fraud evolves.

Congrats to Deepanker Saxena on being named to Okta's Identity 25 — one of just 25 innovators worldwide recognized for their work at the frontlines of digital identity, from fighting deepfakes to securing the next generation of agentic AI!

90 days ago I walked into Socure as CMO. Last week, we pulled off the most important gathering in identity and fraud. The Identity Summit. 200 fraud and identity executives in the middle of the desert. Here are 4 insights that actually surprised me 👇 1. Your hiring process is an attack surface 🎯 North Korean operatives have infiltrated 136+ US companies by getting hired. Background checks are no longer sufficient, and the FBI says we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. 2. One of the world's largest gig platforms is re-verifying workers mid-shift 👷 Deepfake attempts were up over 8,000% in 2025. This platform's answer: random live selfie checks throughout a shift, matched against the verified onboarding photo. If it doesn't match, access stops. The lesson: identity is continuous. 3. 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by 2027 ☁️ Not because the tech failed. Because nobody built the governance layer first. A principal responsible AI builder and a former White House NSC official said it plainly: responsible AI starts at design, not deployment. KYA, Know Your Agent, is the new KYC. 4. A top 5 banks can now respond to a new fraud attack in hours 🚀 Eight years ago their fraud org was headcount-driven and slow. Today, it's analytically-led with data scientists living inside the fraud team, not shared resource pools. The through-line: identity is no longer a checkpoint. It's continuous infrastructure. And the organizations treating it as a one-time gate are already behind. We built Identity Summit for exactly these conversations, unscripted, candid, Chatham House rules. No press. No recordings. Just the people solving the hardest problems in the room together. Three months to build it from nothing. Worth every sleepless night. Want to be in the room next year? Send me a DM.

Socure’s first-ever Identity Summit is a wrap - and it exceeded every expectation! Over 150 customers joined us in Tucson, Arizona for three days of deep collaboration, candid conversations, and forward-thinking ideas to shape the future of identity. What made this event special wasn’t just the energy - it was the substance and connection. We kicked things off with a welcome reception and quickly got to work—diving into one of the most important questions facing our industry: how do we rebuild trust in a world where identity has become a civilization-scale problem? Across the summit, a few themes stood out: 1) Identity is no longer a moment - it’s continuous. Industry leaders shared how identity must evolve from a point-in-time check to a living, compounding relationship across the entire customer lifecycle. 2) AI is reshaping fraud at scale. “Fraud 4.0” isn’t theoretical - deepfakes, synthetic identities, and automated attacks are already here, forcing all of us to rethink how we defend trust without adding friction. 3) Identity is now infrastructure. The future isn’t fragmented tools - it’s unified systems that combine identity intelligence, AI-powered defense, and real-time decisioning into one adaptive layer. We heard directly from some of the most innovative organizations in the world -- Uber, Amazon, Capital One, Coinbase, public sector leaders, and many more - sharing real-world challenges and what’s actually working today. What stood out most: this wasn’t a conference—it was a working session. The people in that room aren’t just talking about the future of identity - they’re the leaders who are building it. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Identity Summit. We’re leaving Tucson energized, aligned, and optimistic about the Future of Identity. #Identity #FraudPrevention #DigitalIdentity #AI #CustomerFirst

A few years ago, Socure started the First-Party Fraud Consortium. Today, it's on track to become a nine-figure business on it's own, and I wanted to share this story of how it started. First-party fraud is a $100B+ per year problem for multiple verticals well beyond traditional financial institutions. Roughly four million known bad actors have figured out how to exploit consumer protection laws at scale. They use well-documented playbooks to dispute legitimate charges, claim ATMs did not dispense cash, or take loans that they have no intention of paying. The challenge is that no identity theft is involved. It is the actual account holder making the transaction with the intent to later claim it was fraudulent. That is why it is called "first-party" fraud. Here is how it typically works: A bad actor opens an account at a bank such as JP Morgan and disputes several ATM withdrawals. Eventually the bank identifies the pattern and shuts the account down. But the fraudster can immediately move to another bank or fintech and repeat the same scheme. Bad actors don't know silos. They know weak links and find sectors, verticals and companies that aren't protected. This is why a consortium model became necessary. Socure's First-Party Fraud Consortium is essentially a shared intelligence network. It is a single database that allows companies across verticals to track and share signal on repeat fraud actors. Today the network includes: - 30 of the largest financial institutions, fintechs and gaming operators - 500 million+ accounts - Coverage of about 70% of the U.S. adult population - More than 4 million known fraud actors identified We believe the industry is much larger than just FIs. We are on track for 1B accounts covered by the end of this years. 20B transactions and counting. And why are we doing this? While the revenue is great, what we’re really doing is bringing accountability back into the system. When there are no repercussions for bad actors, moral compasses get off course very fast. We are reminding everyone actions have consequences which in turns help limit negative actions. It’s like a neighborhood watch party for the financial system. Come join us.
