Mitek Systems, a global provider of digital identity verification and fraud prevention solutions, has announced enhancements to its SEPBLAC-compliant digital onboarding capabilities for the Spanish market, aimed at strengthening defenses against the increasing threat of AI-driven identity fraud.
These enhancements specifically target Mitek’s unassisted video verification solution, a longstanding regulatory requirement for financial institutions and other regulated entities in Spain for remote identity verification. The move responds to a rapidly evolving threat landscape where fraud has shifted from traditional document-based attacks to more sophisticated methods, including screen replays, digital manipulation, synthetic identities, and deepfake-enabled impersonation.
National data underscores the urgency of these updates, with 89% of Spanish companies reporting an increase in fraud attempts over the past year. Identity fraud remains the primary cause of corporate fraud losses, according to the AEECF, with most attacks now targeting vulnerabilities within the onboarding process.
Marc Sabadí, Innovation Lead & Sales Manager at Mitek Systems, stated, “The threat landscape has fundamentally changed, and verification systems must evolve at the same speed. We’re enhancing unassisted video verification for one reason: to give institutions stronger protection while keeping onboarding compliant for our customers and the experience fast and seamless for legitimate customers.”
The updated verification features now include deepfake detection for AI-generated facial manipulation and face morphs, digital manipulation and screen-replay analysis, injection attack protection, and face gallery analysis to identify repeated or coordinated attacks.
These advancements reflect Mitek’s continuous investment in adaptive, intelligence-driven verification technologies. As fraud becomes faster, more scalable, and increasingly automated, Mitek aims to provide solutions that uphold security, ensure compliance, and maintain high conversion rates, enabling organizations to offer seamless onboarding while mitigating AI-driven threats.
Mitek Systems specializes in protecting digital interactions from evolving threats by helping businesses verify identities, prevent fraud, and deliver secure digital experiences. The company’s technology safeguards critical digital interactions from account opening to authentication and deposit. Over 7,000 organizations rely on Mitek to secure customer connections and address emerging risks.
