The Future of Cybersecurity and Identity Verification: A Glimpse into 2025

The Rise of Bots and AI Agents

As we approach 2025, the digital realm faces imminent shifts. The escalation of bot and AI agent usage will revamp e-commerce and online dating platforms.

"In 2023, bot traffic has surged to half of all internet traffic," says Bala Kumar, CPTO of Jumio. "Escalating AI sophistication will lead to a torrent of bot activity on e-commerce and dating apps, disrupting user engagement and sales drastically."

Kumar, an expert in e-commerce and online identity verification, warns of the implications: "On dating apps, bots will optimize profiles to deceive users. In e-commerce, bots will dominate high-demand events, such as snatching tickets in seconds."

The Reign of Liveness Detection

To address the mounting challenges, Kumar predicts a technological revolution in online identity verification.

"2025 will witness an overhaul in identity verification through liveness detection technologies," he says. "Multicolored light systems will swiftly distinguish real users from fraudulent representations, ensuring digital interactions remain secure and trustworthy. This will not only prevent fraud but also enhance user experience, making security seamless and unobtrusive."
