The increasing interaction and transactions in the digital space have led to a surge in identity fraud cases. Globally, identity fraud has risen by 150%, affecting 42 million people and causing losses of up to $52 billion.
Identity fraud threats come from various cybercrimes, such as deepfake manipulation, identity forgery, and credential theft. The widespread nature of these crimes raises a critical question: Are current identity verification methods used by businesses truly secure?
Identity verification during onboarding can no longer rely on outdated technology. Cybercriminals constantly find ways to bypass security layers in the onboarding process. For instance, deepfake-based identity fraud has increased by 900% since 2019.
Previously, VIDA introduced a fully integrated identity verification solution within business platforms, Mobile SDK. This solution allows VIDA to control the entire identity verification process happening within a platform. However, implementing a robust verification system can be complex and time-consuming, especially for businesses with limited infrastructure.
To address this, VIDA now offers a more flexible, lightweight, yet equally secure alternative to Mobile SDK—VIDA Web SDK. This identity verification solution functions seamlessly on both web and mobile platforms with simpler integration.
VIDA Web SDK operates directly within the web browser, eliminating the need for additional applications. Whether for e-commerce, financial services, or government platforms, VIDA Web SDK provides fast, secure, and regulatory-compliant identity verification.
Here’s how VIDA Web SDK ensures secure identity verification.
Why Is Identity Verification Important?
In the digital world, user onboarding is the gateway to online services. Businesses must ensure that their identity verification processes are accurate and secure. However, there are key challenges to address:
1. The Rising Risk of Identity Fraud
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have made deepfake creation easier, enabling fraudsters to generate realistic fake media. In Indonesia, deepfake-related fraud cases surged by 1,550% between 2022 and 2023. This dramatic rise highlights the growing threats to data security and digital transactions.
2. Financial Losses
Data breaches expose personal information that criminals can exploit to carry out illegal transactions, open fraudulent bank accounts, or apply for loans without the victim’s knowledge. This leads to significant financial losses for both individuals and businesses.
3. Loss of Trust and Reputation
Businesses that fail to protect customer data risk losing consumer trust. A data breach can severely damage a company's reputation and reduce customer loyalty.
Why Choose VIDA Web SDK?
VIDA Web SDK is designed to eliminate barriers in identity verification. Unlike Mobile SDK, which requires complex backend development, Web SDK runs directly in the browser, on both desktop and mobile, while maintaining the same level of security.
1. Auto-Capture for Higher Conversion Rates
A major challenge in identity verification is blurry or low-quality images, forcing users to retry multiple times. VIDA Web SDK includes an auto-capture feature that automatically takes the best image under optimal lighting and angles. This reduces user frustration and increases verification success rates, ultimately minimizing drop-offs.
2. Compatibility Across All Devices and Operating Systems
Not all users have the same type of device. If an identity verification solution is limited to specific platforms, many users may struggle with the process. VIDA Web SDK offers broad compatibility across various operating systems, ensuring a seamless verification experience regardless of device.
3. A More Seamless Process
Have you ever encountered a verification process that was confusing and frustrating? Perhaps switching between apps, manually uploading photos, or waiting too long for verification? VIDA Web SDK eliminates these pain points by handling everything directly in the browser. Users can complete verification in seconds without needing to download additional apps. Real-time instructions and feedback make the process faster and more user-friendly.
