Incentives for white hat hackers to attack FaceTec's 3D Liveness AI increased
SUMMERLIN, Nev., April 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FaceTec, Inc., the global leader in 3D Liveness and Face Matching software, announced today it has doubled what is already the industry's only spoof bounty program, from $100,000 to $200,000.
First launched in October 2019, the spoof bounty program has resulted in FaceTec's AI successfully defending over 110,000 spoof and bypass attacks. FaceTec's 3D Liveness Detection is the first to be certified to Levels 1 & 2 in NIST-accredited lab Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) testing, and continues to significantly raise the security bar with the world's only spoof bounty program.
FaceTec believes a Level 1-5 spoof bounty program is the only way to ensure a Liveness vendor stays ahead of increasingly sophisticated presentation attack vectors and bypass methods, and that every Liveness vendor needs to launch and fully support their own public Level 1-5 spoof bounty program and prove their technology is secure.
"We hoped PAD testing labs would evolve with threats, but they haven't kept up, allowing unscrupulous liveness vendors to dramatically exaggerate their security levels," said Kevin Alan Tussy, FaceTec CEO. "Organizations choose FaceTec because security is paramount to them. Breaches can now cost billions, and more people are being hurt by identity theft than ever before. FaceTec's mission is to stop fraud, not just check a regulatory box. This is why so many of our customers are in unregulated industries."
2D Liveness methods are inherently unable to collect the depth and breadth of data necessary to stop hackers who have now mastered the creation of real-time deepfake puppets. Deepfakes are the number-one new threat to remote identity proofing systems, according to ENISA's Remote Identity Proofing - Attacks & Countermeasures report, unite.ai, and a recent publication from Pennsylvania State, Zhejiang, and Shandong Universities.
FaceTec's 3D Liveness Detection has been trained with tens-of-millions of digital and physical spoof artifacts that include high-res photos and videos (including thousands of deepfakes), mannequin heads, and life-like masks.
The FaceTec bounty program provides incentive for white hat hackers to attack its software and uncover any unknown vulnerabilities in the Liveness AI before a customer or end-user is ever affected. If any vulnerabilities are found, they can be quickly patched, further elevating FaceTec's 3D Liveness security.
The bounty program comprises Levels 1 & 2 in NIST/ISO 30107-3 PAD testing; Level 3, which NIST-affiliated labs have never tested for; and Level 4 and Level 5 bypasses, addressing the full spectrum attack vectors. Level 4 is Biometric Template Tampering, and Level 5 is Camera Bypasses, which include camera hijacking, emulators, and video injection.
The FaceTec spoof bounty program follows standard bounty program rules and is open to most individuals, regardless of location.
