For years, the dominant threat against remote identity verification was the presentation attack: someone holding a printed photo up to a camera, wearing a mask, or playing a pre-recorded video on a phone screen. The industry responded with increasingly sophisticated anti-spoofing technology and vision-based detection models, and the standards to test their effectiveness followed. But many of today’s most sophisticated fraudsters don’t bother with the camera at all.

If you're shipping software these days, there's a good chance an agent is in your development workflow. In fact, 84% of software developers say they use AI to write code, open pull requests, and push to production regularly; that number is only expected to grow. Some teams have gone further: they're designing loops, or recurring systems that direct agents continuously, without a human writing a new prompt at each step.

You've built rigorous identity verification flows. You're running liveness detection, document checks, and behavioral analysis. And when users make it through, you rightfully clear them as trusted. But when users aren’t in a verification flow, you lose insight into the device, network, and behavioral signals that could flag a major risk. Sentinel extends passive signal collection to any moment in the user's life cycle.

When I joined Persona's Marketplace team as the product manager in August 2025, we had around 25 integrations. Our goal was to make Persona a seamless fit in every customer's stack: easy to get started with and even easier to grow with. Less than a year later, we've tripled the size of our marketplace to include more than 75 integrations. Here's how we've approached our Marketplace strategy this year.

Anthropic released a pre-built KYC Screener agent last month. It runs a four-step workflow on onboarding records to extract structured data from KYC documents, evaluate that data against a firm's KYC rules, screen named parties, and escalate exceptions to a compliance file for human review. The Anthropic template is purpose-built for meeting basic KYC compliance requirements during onboarding, and it lowers the cost of getting it right.

We believe trust is earned through demonstration and transparency, not promises. That’s why we worked with Trail of Bits, an independent security firm that has spent years reviewing the code behind widely-used software from cryptography libraries to critical open-source infrastructure. Persona regularly undergoes independent third-party audits across our security, privacy, and product programs.
