management and risk assessment company. In this exciting episode,

verification and fraud detection challenges at Socure. (2)

of the top 10 U.S. banks and over 30 state agencies, processing
hundreds of millions of transactions per month. (3) Socure's
approach to building a real-time identity graph by aggregating
signals from devices, phone numbers, IPs, and other data points
to detect and prevent sophisticated fraud tactics like deepfakes
and fraud GPTs. (4) The company's recent acquisition of Effectiv
to simplify the integration process for customers and improve
efficiency, as well as its use of Generative AI to automate
