AI-native identity and risk intelligence provider leads the industry protecting consumer and business identities as digital trust collapses in the face of Fraud 4.0.

Socure, the leading global trust infrastructure, today announced it has been named to the 2026 CNBC Disruptor 50, the annual list recognizing the most innovative private companies transforming industries at global scale.

The recognition places Socure among an elite group of organizations defining the future of technology, finance, and commerce, and comes as the company experiences rapid growth, closing Q1 2026 with 62% year-over-year growth in new annual recurring revenue growth and $340M+ in total ARR across a base of more than 3,000 customers.

Identity and fraud prevention have taken on new urgency in 2026 as AI reshapes every threat landscape across every industry. Fraudsters are increasingly weaponizing deepfakes, synthetic identities, and automated attacks to bypass legacy identity systems. Every vertical is experiencing accelerated fraud attacks including workforce, public sector, big tech and AI, marketplace and gig, fintech, and traditional finance.

Fraud now enters through onboarding and activates months or years after an account is opened. According to a Socure analysis, AI-based fraud attacks surged more than 8,000% in 2025. Modern fraud rings operate with the speed and scale of enterprises: one ring tracked by Socure executed 38,241 transactions across 465 organizations in 30 industries within a single 90-day window.

Trust is the first casualty of the AI era and in this new AI environment, legacy, rule‑based approaches to identity are failing, putting financial institutions, governments, and consumers at escalating risk. Socure is enabling enterprises to embed AI-first identity infrastructure stopping fraudsters across the lifecycle while saying yes to more good people.

"Being named to the CNBC Disruptor 50 is a statement of the global severity of the identity pandemic and the impact that Socure is having,” said Johnny Ayers, Founder and CEO of Socure. “Deepfakes, synthetic identities, and injection attacks are dismantling the trust infrastructure that the entire global economy depends on. With our identity intelligence layer, Socure is stopping AI fraud across every threat vector and industry while ensuring that organizations don’t turn away good customers."

The Socure RiskOS® platform unifies identity verification, fraud prevention, compliance, credit, and risk decisioning into a single intelligence layer that continuously learns from global signals and adapts in real time as risk patterns evolve. Unlike point solutions that tackle fraud in isolation, RiskOS delivers an integrated system of record for trust, purpose-built for the era of AI-driven threats, with more than 200 third-party integrations that provide a holistic view of risk.

RiskOS is powered by two intelligence layers: the Local Graph, which gives each enterprise an institution-specific view of each customer, and the Global Graph, which provides a view of every interaction a customer has across every platform in the Socure ecosystem. Together, organizations are able to make more contextually aware decisions to approve more legitimate customers while stopping bad actors before fraud occurs.

The CNBC Disruptor 50 recognition reinforces Socure’s role as foundational infrastructure for organizations navigating the intersection of AI innovation and AI‑enabled risk. As digital identity becomes the front line of both economic participation and fraud prevention, Socure continues to set the standard for how trust is established and protected at global scale.
