Every week, I meet teams who are doing everything “right” and still getting burned by identity fraud. The playbook that worked five years ago—combining multiple tools with periodic rule updates and longer re-verification flows—was built for a world of human-paced attacks. Today, AI-powered attacks such as deepfake toolchains spin up faces and voices on demand, and agentic systems probe defenses at machine speed. In this new tempo, the first control surface is authentication, and the only sustainable answer is certainty delivered in milliseconds.

That is the context for bringing AuthenticID into Incode. Big AI challenges require big platforms built on proprietary technology and reinforced by real-world scale. You cannot stop modern identity attacks without both.

## Why scale is now a security feature

In biometrics, scale is not a vanity metric; it is the raw material that models need to harden. Rare edge cases only appear at volume. Subtle spoofs are visible when you see millions of sessions across devices, networks, and geographies. In 2024, our combined operations processed over 4.1 billion identity checks across banking, telecom, fintech, marketplaces, transportation, retail, and more. We protect 8 of the top 9 North American telecoms, serve 8 of the top 10 U.S. banks, work with 4 of the top 5 banks in Latin America, and secure 3 of the top 3 global neobanks. At that scale, models learn faster, policies tune faster, and customers get decisions that are both quicker and more accurate.

## Why ownership matters now

Integrations can be a practical starting point. Full-stack ownership lets you evolve as threats evolve, without waiting on third parties or accepting opaque tradeoffs. At Incode, we build our core techn
