Technology is still one step ahead. While some trends may seem bleak, there are straightforward and convenient ways to thwart identity thieves.

More companies will adopt stronger identity verification methods to combat continued data leaks.

Synthetic identities will pose an even greater risk to identity security in 2022.

Once again, requiring multiple forms of ID verification can solve this problem - specifically, requiring a liveness and documentary verification can help ensure that the person signing up for the account has a real document, that the data on that identity document matches what they entered, and that the person is a living human.

In 2022, we expect to see more organizations adopt this multi-factor ID verification to thwart synthetic identity fraud on their platforms.

With widespread adoption, we believe that 2022 will be the beginning of the end of online identity fraud.
