Mitek Systems, Inc. was named the silver medalist in the 2025 Datos Insights Fraud and AML Impact Awards in the category of Best Digital Identity Verification on August 20, 2025. This award recognizes Mitek’s Digital Fraud Defender, a multilayered security suite designed to protect against the growing wave of generative AI-driven fraud, including deepfakes and synthetic identity attacks. The Datos Impact Awards honor innovations in financial crime prevention.
Mitek earned recognition for its work in helping businesses detect and stop complex identity fraud threats that traditional systems often miss. Digital Fraud Defender's three-component architecture, which includes injection attack detection, template attack detection, and deepfake detection, reflects the necessity of multifaceted defenses against sophisticated AI-driven fraud. Chris Briggs, Chief Product Officer at Mitek, emphasized that liveness detection alone is insufficient against these evolving threats.
In real-world deployments, Digital Fraud Defender has demonstrated its effectiveness by uncovering high volumes of fraud that traditional systems missed. In one instance, it identified over 3,000 injection attacks in a targeted phishing campaign. In another, it maintained a 99% pass rate while filtering out deepfake images during biometric verification, showcasing its robust protection capabilities.
