Built on NEC’s award-winning facial recognition technology—consistently ranked #1 in speed and accuracy by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from 2009 to 2025—ICS empowers organizations to improve customer experiences by accelerating the identity verification process. The platform enables faster, more transparent onboarding while reducing fraud risk and compliance burdens.
In addition to robust face matching capabilities, ICS also offers optional liveness detection and presentation attack detection (PAD) to ensure that verifications are not only fast but also resistant to spoofing or impersonation attempts. The result is a seamless and secure digital identity experience, whether used at the point of entry, for remote access, or during customer registration.
