Incode was recognized as a Leader for the third consecutive year in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification, an evaluation that included 12 providers in the market.

The recognition comes as organizations face increasingly sophisticated forms of digital fraud driven by generative artificial intelligence, deepfakes and synthetic identities.

Incode was recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification, an evaluation that included 12 providers in the market. The company was also recognized as a Leader in the 2024 and 2025 editions.

The recognition comes as organizations face new forms of fraud associated with generative artificial intelligence, deepfakes and synthetic identities. According to the company, attackers are using systems capable of automating different stages of an attack, from generating fraudulent documents to creating deepfakes tailored to specific detection mechanisms.

”Anyone can have a good year. However, we believe that three consecutive years as a Leader reflect consistency, and that is what companies buy,” said Ricardo Amper, founder and CEO of Incode. “As deepfakes and synthetic identities multiply, we keep our customers one step ahead by training our defenses in the same way agentic attackers operate.”

In Colombia, the company has expanded its presence across sectors including banking, fintech, e-commerce, tourism, healthcare and high-volume digital platforms, where identity verification and biometric authentication are part of digital processes.

Cybercrime accounts for most of the risk

The local context also reflects the growing risks associated with digital fraud. According to the National Police, in 2025, theft through computer systems and similar means, unauthorized access to computer systems and violations of personal data protection laws accounted for 62,299 complaints, equivalent to 88% of reported cybercrime.

This landscape is compounded by attacks targeting critical infrastructure, local governments, small and medium-sized businesses and digital services, according to alerts from ColCERT, part of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies. The agency also reported that fraud accounted for 79.83% of incidents handled over the past two years, primarily through phishing and unauthorized access to email accounts.

More than 35 models to test defenses

Among the capabilities Incode attributes to its platform is identity verification against official sources. The company reports a 0.01% false acceptance rate, processes up to six times faster and a 20% increase in conversion.

The company also says it uses more than 35 proprietary models to test its systems against automated attacks and has conducted independent penetration tests in which no successful evasions were recorded.

Another tool is a trust network that, according to Incode, can identify behaviors associated with repeat fraud and use trust history across organizations without centralizing raw data. The company reports a reach of 7.1 billion identity verifications.

The platform also allows organizations to configure different verification flows and rules for each process, from opening bank accounts to procedures related to government benefits.

Over the past year, Incode continued expanding these capabilities to support customer onboarding and fraud prevention processes across sectors including financial services, telecommunications and government.
