New age mandates continue to emerge across the world. For product managers, compliance officers, and legal professionals responsible for implementing age assurance, understanding internationally recognized frameworks is essential. ISO 27566 and IEEE 2089 are the two leading internationally recognized standards for age assurance referenced by regulatory bodies creating guidelines for recent age mandates.

Effective January 1, 2026, Mexico’s Ley Aduanera (Customs Law) has dramatically increased documentation requirements for anyone importing or exporting through Mexico.

We’ve been collaborating with others to explore when and how agentic commerce will work. Robin Gandhi is the CPO of Lithic, a leading card issuer that’s already seeing agents use its cards to make purchases.

Hiring has never been easy. But in the last year, it’s taken on an entirely new level of complexity. Fake candidates have become one of the most urgent problems facing HR, talent, and InfoSec teams alike. Today’s recruiters are flooded with AI-generated resumes that are nearly impossible to distinguish from legitimate candidates.

Traditional detection methods and point solutions often focus on fraud detection at a single point. Identity platforms and orchestration layers help fraud fighters detect patterns and stop scaling attacks. But there’s a growing fraud vector called identity muling that’s particularly difficult for some fraud systems to detect. Below, we’ll explore how identity muling works, what it looks like from a fraud fighter’s perspective, and what you can do to protect your organization.

Physical discs have given way to streaming. You can make a purchase with a tap of your phone. But relying on documents to verify business and individual identities isn't going anywhere.
