(Image source: 123RF) Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness is now available in South Africa, giving organisations a way to verify that the right person remains active throughout a digital session, not only at login. The technology is being introduced locally by Flownamix Group as part of a launch that also includes Secure Enterprise Messaging. Both solutions are powered by YEO Messaging’s patented technology. The introduction comes at a time when organisations are re-evaluating how they establish trust in digital environments. The rise of identity fraud, AI-enabled impersonation and increasingly sophisticated cyber crime is driving demand for technology that provides stronger identity assurance beyond the point of login. According to the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC), digital banking fraud incidents increased by 86% in 2024, while associated losses rose by 74% to nearly R1.9 billion. As organisations continue to expand digital services and customer interactions, maintaining confidence in a user’s identity throughout an interaction is now just as important as verifying it at login. Together, Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness and Secure Enterprise Messaging enable organisations to strengthen identity assurance across the digital journey. While Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness continuously verifies that the authorised user remains present throughout a session, Secure Enterprise Messaging protects communications through verified identities and end-to-end encryption. “Our partnership with YEO Messaging, combined with Continuous Facial Recognition (CFR) technology, represents an important step towards secure, identity-assured communication where the person receiving, viewing or acting on sensitive information can be continuously and confidently verified. For Flownamix Group, this partnership is not simply about adding another layer of authentication. We believe this approach will become increasingly important for regulated industries, enterprises and service providers that need to protect confidential information, reduce impersonation risk and strengthen accountability across
