Injection Attack Detection for Identity Verification | Veridas
Injection attack detection
Protect your business from injection attacks
Fraudsters have shifted tactics. They now generate AI fraud at scale, injecting it directly into your KYC and onboarding processes. Block these attacks instantly with our 100% proprietary tech.
Injection attacks: The new invisible, automated threat
Outdated defenses
Legacy systems verify that the user at the screen is real by blocking photos or masks (PAD). However, this defense fails if the device or data channel is manipulated via an injection attack.
Active threat
The rise of digital banking has driven an increase in sophisticated fraud, including ID forgery and synthetic identities, and account takeovers, amplified by generative AI. A McKinsey study indicates that 85% of financial fraud cases are linked to synthetic identities.
Fragmented solutions
If your current vendor only analyzes the camera, they are completely blind. Fragmented third-party tools hinder total onboarding control and delay patching critical security vulnerabilities by weeks.
The true cost of injection attacks in numbers
Injection attacks are already a reality affecting global enterprises and sabotaging current onboarding workflows. What impact does this have on your bottom line?
- 83% of financial losses stem from identity fraud
- 41% Identity attacks utilizing AI
- 3.2% New accounts are fraudulent
- 1.4% Global verifications show active injection
Why preventing injection attacks is business-critical
Total security blindness
Traditional systems leave you completely exposed. By bypassing the camera, undetected fraudsters inject data, forcing your business to approve massive fraud.
Mass fraud scalability
Automated scripts launch mass attacks against thousands of accounts simultaneously, causing sudden, catastrophic financial spikes that manual workflows cannot handle.
Endless exploit loops
Automated fraud costs virtually nothing to launch, turning onboarding workflows into permanent targets that drain engineering resources and destroy customer trust.
Severe regulatory risk
Beyond direct fraud losses, non-compliant vendors expose your business to millions in fines and market exclusion under strict European regulations.
Injection attack detection for total shielding
Device Verification
We analyze hardware health in real time to ensure the onboarding workflow runs in a legitimate mobile or web environment.
- Emulator blocking: We detect and block desktop computers attempting to simulate mobile devices to bypass security barriers.
- Tamper detection: We instantly identify modified devices using jailbreak or root techniques that compromise operating system security.
Channel protection
We secure the communication path between user and server to prevent interception or modification of transmitted data.
- Deepfake interception: We prevent legitimate user video from being replaced with synthetic content altered by real-time artificial intelligence.
- Virtual camera blocking: We neutralize malicious software designed to stream spoofed images by simulating the device’s real physical camera.
Regulatory compliance
We align your onboarding with the strictest legal regulations, guaranteeing full legal validity before regulatory bodies.
- Maximum legal assurance: Operate with total peace of mind, meeting the strictest security and privacy standards worldwide.
- Global compatibility: An architecture designed for compatibility with future digital identity frameworks inside and outside Europe.
- Risk mitigation: Avoid multimillion-dollar penalties by shielding your workflows before new mandatory regulations take effect.
Certified compliance with European standards
European CEN/TS 18099 Standard
It is the global gold standard for detecting injection attacks, where fraud bypasses the camera to enter the data stream directly. Of its three tiers, High Level is the only one requiring protection against advanced, professional hacking. Facing the current bottleneck of accredited labs, Veridas leads the market, already in the final official audit phase for this highest tier.
Regulatory countdown
- Late 2026: Legal obligation to support the EUDI Wallet under eIDAS 2.0.
- July 10, 2027: Enforcement of the strict European Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR).
- August 2027: Non-negotiable ETSI v2.1.1 compliance deadline for trusted service providers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are traditional Identity Verification (IDV) systems blind to injection attacks?
Traditional IDV processes focus on Presentation Attack Detection (PAD), looking for fake documents, printed photos, or silicone masks. Injection fraud shatters this logic by bypassing the camera entirely: here, criminals manipulate the device (via emulators or jailbreaks) or intercept the digital channel to inject a deepfake directly into the server’s data stream. Because this occurs at the logical software and network layers, the process arrives free of the physical imperfections traditional PAD looks for.
Will implementing this injection attack defense affect my onboarding conversion?
With Veridas, the impact on legitimate user experience is absolutely zero thanks to an invisible security approach. All technical analysis of the hardware and digital channel—designed to instantly intercept emulators, virtual cameras, app manipulation, and API tampering—runs 100% in the background and in real time. The process adds zero friction.
Does adopting this technology make sense outside of Europe?
Absolutely, because injection fraud is a global threat with no borders. Traditional international certifications (like ISO 30107-3) are entirely obsolete against hacks that bypass the camera. The future global standard ISO/IEC 25456 is currently under development. Veridas’ architecture ensures immediate global compatibility, allowing your platform to stop modern AI fraud.
