Continuous Facial Recognition technology launches in SA to strengthen in-app security

Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness has launched in South Africa to enhance in-app security, according to Flownamix Group. This technology, powered by YEO Messaging’s patented Continuous Facial Recognition, verifies the identity of users during an entire digital session, not just at login. The introduction comes amid heightened concerns over digital fraud, AI-enabled impersonation, and sophisticated cybercrime.

In 2024, digital banking fraud incidents surged by 86%, resulting in losses of nearly R1.9 billion, as reported by the South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC). Flownamix Group and YEO Messaging aim to bolster identity assurance throughout digital interactions by combining Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness and Secure Enterprise Messaging.

The latter protects communications through verified identities and end-to-end encryption. The partnership between Flownamix Group and YEO Messaging is particularly significant for regulated industries, enterprises, and service providers that need to safeguard confidential information and reduce impersonation risks. Continuous Facial Recognition with Liveness integrates into existing web and mobile applications, enhancing security without disrupting user experiences.

It uses advanced facial mapping, anti-spoofing liveness detection, and depth verification to detect impersonation and session hijacking in real-time, while storing biometric data securely on the user’s device. Secure Enterprise Messaging, on the other hand, enables identity-verified messaging, voice, and video calling within existing applications, combining verified identities with end-to-end encryption and enterprise-grade privacy controls.

The solutions are currently available in South Africa through Datanamix, SigniFlow, and SMSFlow, with local support from Flownamix Group and YEO Messaging. As businesses continue to digitize operations, establishing trust throughout every digital interaction has become crucial.
