Top companies contributing to the AI trust and security ecosystem
In this article, USA Today looks at five companies building technology that supports AI trust and security, and Incode is first on the list. The piece places Incode at the identity layer of the trust stack. That layer answers a basic question for any AI system: whether the person on the other side of the screen is who they say they are. The article highlights Incode’s automated, AI-first verification platform and Deepsight, its deepfake detection tool, which separates real people from digital spoofs in real time. It also describes how Incode protects user sessions from onboarding through high-value transactions.

As AI systems move from experimental chatbots to autonomous agents capable of making business decisions. Enterprise agents today are playing a hand in determining user verification, flagging fraudulent transactions, and managing crisis conversations.
The very definition of security is shifting. Today, AI systems are managing massive amounts of proprietary data and deciding who to verify and which actions are worth flagging. With so much at stake, companies can no longer treat security as an afterthought.
For the enterprise, the challenge is ensuring that as AI scales, it does so without compromising identity integrity or safety.
Here are five companies developing technologies that support AI trust and security.
Incode: Standardizing trust through identity verification
At the core of any secure AI ecosystem is a simple but difficult question: Is the person on the other side of the screen who they say they are? As generative AI fuels deepfakes and agentic fraud, traditional verification methods are failing.
Incode is anchoring the identity layer of the trust stack with an automated, AI-first platform that aims to reduce the influence of human bias in the verification process. Incode’s deepfake detection tool, Deepsight, distinguishes between real humans and a digital spoof in real-time.
For enterprises, Incode helps ensure identity isn't just a gate to be checked at the start; it is a security standard designed to help protect user sessions, from initial onboarding to high-value transactions.
