Persona helps businesses manage KYC/AML/KYB programs, fight fraud, and build trust by automating any identity-related use case with our flexible identity infrastructure.

Beyond securely collecting and verifying user information such as PII, government IDs, and selfies, our platform also provides flexible case review and orchestration tools to help businesses streamline and automate all their identity operations — from setting custom rules to ingesting third-party data and triggering external actions. In short, Persona handles the complexities of securely collecting, verifying, and managing sensitive personal information, so you can stay focused on building your product.

Do new AI video generators have you rethinking the value of selfie verifications? Don’t get us wrong, AI technology is getting better, and it’s wild to see what people can create with a short prompt. But we think the advances in GenAI actually increase the value of selfies. Remember: • Fraudsters need to inject their deepfake videos into the verification flow. Without giving too much away, let’s just say there are lots of signals you can use to detect injection attacks. • Even high-quality AI models leave behind breadcrumbs when they generate motion. You can follow the breadcrumbs to flag the fraudster. • Having flows that automatically step up users to manual reviews is still helpful, especially when you give investigators insights from multi-modal fraud detection models. And, deep breath, it’s all part of the cat-and-mouse game.

If you do this, you'll find fraud risks before they starts. Most fraud teams won't. Here's the scenario: You finally get budget approval. The vendor pitches their AI platform. You want to sign the contract. I'll spend 3 hours doing this... Walk through your product as a good user Document every step Now walk through as a fraudster Ask: "What could go wrong here?" I start every new team with this exercise. We map our risk surface area. Account creation → Verify email/phone Add payment info → Test stolen cards First transaction → Use coupon codes Refer a friend → Earn store credit Password reset → Account takeover Go through your entire product. Most teams are sitting on more useful data than they realize. Device fingerprints. IP addresses. Behavioral signals. Identity. Document metadata. Telemetry. But it's all in different systems. Disconnected. Make an inventory: → List existing signals across all systems → Map them to risk surfaces → Identify the gaps For each risk surface, figure out which combination of signals gives you the best coverage. Start with simple rules and iterate. When you know where you're vulnerable, you can prioritize engineering resources. When you connect existing signals, you avoid buying tools for problems you don't have. When you map surfaces first, you build systems that actually work. The bar is incredibly low. Most teams buy tools first, map risks second. Do the opposite. Just broke down the framework with Persona: https://lnkd.in/eYZfG2fN
