About Socure

Socure sells an identity and risk platform designed to make risk decisions in real time across the user journey. Customers can design, test and deploy identity, risk, business, compliance, age assurance or authentication workflows at any point of the customer journey. Socure states that its platform supports 3,000+ customers, with problems ranging from workforce to prediction markets. Socure states that deepfakes, video and voice clones, device farms, synthetic identities, sim swaps and digital doppelgangers have outpaced real human traffic on the internet, growing 50x annually. Socure says machine identity is now the critical challenge.[3]

Socure offers RiskOS and Socure Launch for building a risk stack that covers fraud, compliance and trust. Socure Launch is a self-serve entry point into RiskOS.

V4.5 uses insights into data breaches and real-time phone number porting data. V4.5 integrates with the Socure Identity Graph and uses anomaly detectors to find statistical patterns in relational webs. Sigma Synthetic V4.5 detects synthetic risk early and enables targeted step-ups where needed. High-risk synthetic patterns can be routed to step-ups such as eCBSV or document verification. Green Dot's team uses Socure's Sigma First-Party Fraud and cross-institution intelligence to expose hidden risk and stop abuse. A dispute abuse model and real-time risk score identify identities likely to exploit dispute processes across organizations.[1][5][6][7]

Digital Intelligence binds an identity with associated devices, online behavior and historical consumer interactions. Digital Intelligence can be integrated through a RESTful API interface and client-side SDKs for iOS, Android and JavaScript. Device intelligence gathers device attributes, history, velocity metrics and risk indicators to identify compromised devices, proxies, VPNs and more. Behavioral analytics capture and analyze user behaviors to detect anomalies and potential fraud. Socure collects digital intelligence on devices and customer attributes, and Entity Profiler uses this data to build identity profiles from initial engagement. Graph Intelligence equips fraud and data science teams to refine decision logic, adjust thresholds and prioritize high-risk behaviors. Email RiskScores assess the risk and ownership strength of email information across onboarding, authentication and payments. Email RiskScores are part of the RiskScores suite with Phone RiskScore and Address RiskScore, and work in low-PII environments.[1][10][11][12]
