Our take
Awareness of the fact that digital fraud affects every industry and sector is growing, yet it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify it. Improvements in digital editing tools result in realistic document manipulation becoming easy to produce yet difficult and time-consuming to recognize.
Inscribe is redefining how businesses fight fraud. Unlike competitiors like Resistant AI and SMile Identity, Inscirbe uses a blend of machine learning and image forensics to autonamically detect fake documnets. Its software flag digital tampering and subtle manipulations that are nearly imposible to cath with the naked eye. Designed for seamless integration, it fits easily into existing enterprise systems, helping companies stay one step ahead of fraudsters.
The company's solution to document fraud is unique as it can recognize discrepancies within pixel-sized details with a level of accuracy and speed that human staff simply cannot match. Now, the company is focused on expanding its product capabilities and growing its team is it continues to sale and meet rising demand for trustworthy, AI-powered fraud detection.
