What are liveness checks and why do they matter?
A lot of life happens online now. You can open a bank account from your sofa. Start a new job without meeting anyone in person. Prove your age with a selfie. Interact on gaming platforms.

How strong authentication powers Zero Trust and protects against cyber threats
Until recently, organisational cybersecurity typically relied on a fortress mentality, by building a strong perimeter with firewalls and VPNs, and trusting everything inside. But in today’s digital world of cloud apps, remote work and hiring, supply chain integrations, virtual connections and sophisticated attacks, that approach is no longer enough. Once criminals breach the walls, they can often move freely and undetected. If a business can’t reliably confirm who’s accessing its systems, it leaves the door open for cyber criminals. When authentication is weak, malicious actors can: Steal employee or customer login credentials through phishing and use them to access
