The Rapid Evolution of Identity Threats and The Need For Continuous Resilience

Bad actors are threatening identity systems in ways that confound prior assumptions. In the second half of 2025, attacks against iOS — long considered low-risk thanks to Apple's closed ecosystem — surged 1,151%. Generative AI has accelerated the problem, letting attackers mass-produce hyperrealistic deepfakes and synthetic identities, while crime-as-a-service networks trade ready-made attack kits globally.

Face verification with validated, standards-aligned liveness detection is now essential. But any system, however robust at launch, will be broken if it's left to age in the wild. The threat landscape moves continuously, making static deployments redundant as soon as bad actors launch a novel attack.

In this session, Dominic Forrest, CTO at iProov, examines what continuous resilience looks like: visibility into the threat landscape, adaptation to the emerging attacks, and automated threat updates that keep organizations protected without burdening their engineers.

Dominic will cover:

● Today's dominant threats to identity systems

● The role of third-party injection attack validation

● Building layered defenses with orthogonal signals and managed detection and response

● Why stronger security cannot come at the cost of UX or accessibility
