AU10TIX, a global identity verification and fraud intelligence company trusted by enterprises worldwide, today announced a wave of industry recognition spanning authentication, KYC innovation, and fraud intelligence. The company was named Authentication Solution of the Year in the 2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, won Gold for KYC Innovation in the Juniper Research Identity & Security Awards, and was shortlisted for Data Initiative of the Year at the US FinTech Awards.
Authentication Solution of the Year — CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards
AU10TIX's Identity Verification Suite was named Authentication Solution of the Year in the 2026 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards, a program from the Tech Breakthrough organization that recognizes top companies in the global cybersecurity market.
The recognition reflects AU10TIX's move beyond traditional identity verification to authenticate both a person's identity and their human presence. In 2026, the company expanded its platform through a partnership with Validit.ai, introducing Human Authenticity Verification: physio-behavioral AI that determines whether an applicant is present before and interacting with a device. This function gives organizations a new trust signal they can build into automated approvals and step-up verification, addressing the growing threat of AI-generated personas and deepfakes without inconveniencing legitimate users. As AI increasingly enables cybercriminals to generate convincing synthetic identities, AU10TIX offers security in knowing the person behind the device is real.
KYC Innovation Gold — Juniper Research Identity & Security Awards
Additionally, AU10TIX's Identity Verification Suite earned a Gold Winner distinction in the KYC Innovation category of the Juniper Research Identity & Security Awards 2026, a program established by the independent research firm Juniper Research to recognize innovation and excellence in digital identity verification and cybersecurity.
The award recognizes AU10TIX's AI-powered KYC platform, which combines document verification, biometric verification, liveness detection, fraud intelligence, sanctions screening, and reusable digital identity into a single API. The platform supports more than 180 forgery and forensic checks - more than three times the industry average - with upwards of 90% of legitimate customers still completing verification without encountering obstacles. Recent customer successes include PayU, which scaled secure merchant verification through automated KYC workflows, and Evoke, which accelerated compliant player onboarding across multiple regulated gaming markets.
Finalist, Data Initiative of the Year — US FinTech Awards
AU10TIX was also named a finalist for Data Initiative of the Year at the 2026 US FinTech Awards, produced by FinTech Intel and decided on by an independent panel of industry experts. The nomination recognizes AU10TIX's Q1 2026 Global Identity Fraud Benchmark Report, which transforms more than tens of millions of identity verification transactions into actionable fraud intelligence, revealing systemic, AI-driven fraud patterns that are invisible at the level of any single organization. Winners will be announced at a ceremony on November 19 in New York City.
The recognitions arrive as AU10TIX's fraud intelligence continues to reveal the scale and sophistication of identity fraud. The company's latest Global Identity Fraud Report found that 1 in every 26 identity verification attempts was confirmed fraud, that 47.5% of confirmed fraud attempts involved fake identities, and that AI-generated text deepfakes increased 34.3% year over year. AU10TIX has authenticated billions of identities to date and has assisted organizations in preventing more than $33 billion in identity fraud.
