Digital Identity Friday Five: June 20, 2025
Covering the most interesting news for the week of June 14 to June 20
Today is Friday, June 20. I’ve been sharing five things (or more) that I found interesting each week since April 2023
That’s 113 uninterrupted weeks of weekly updates!
[I’ve be cross-posting here on Substack since January 2024]
I recently hit the 3-year anniversary of starting PEAK IDV and I’m working on some exciting new developments
Be sure to follow me, Steve Craig, as I will share more in the coming weeks
Until then, I’m pausing my Friday updates, going full monk mode, and preparing for what’s next!
Don’t worry, here's a #fridayfive send off of my favorite #digitalidentity industry resources that you should follow
1/ Liminal
Filip Verley, Cameron D'Ambrosi, and the entire team at Liminal unlock identity's full potential with phenomenal insights
From their "Morning Brief" to their "This Week in Identity" newsletter, and their recent Demo Days, they're keeping you current in #allthingsID
And their "State of Identity" audio podcast is #1 in our field: peakidv.link/LiminalPod
I’ve been following Liminal since they were #OneWorldIdentity, I even spoke at their KNOW Identity Conference back in 2019 with legends Nash Ali and Garient Evans!
2/ Biometric Update
Google "biometrics news" and you’ll see amazing editorials from the team at Biometric Update
Stephen Mayhew, Chris Burt, and Joel R. McConvey are always on the cutting edge of what’s happening in the global biometrics scene
I particularly enjoy their PEAK IDV coverage 😉
3/ ID Tech
Formerly known as #FindBiometrics, ID Tech is now led by dynamic duo Alex Perala & Tony Bitzionis
ID Tech Digest, their daily roundup of identity technology news, including developments in biometrics and digital ID, will keep you well informed about all things #IDtech
Be sure to subscribe to their LinkedIn newsletter too: peakidv.link/IDTech
4/ About Fraud
Where are all the fraud fighters at? 🥊
They’re probably at Fraud Fight Club hanging with PJ Rohall and Ronald Praetsch!
It's been amazing to watch the About Fraud community grow over the past few years and seeing their first major conference come to life in #Charlotte
If you’re interested in fraud topics, fraud webinars, fraud solution landscape, and more, subscribe to their email newsletter: peakidv.link/AboutFraud
5/ KYC AML Guide
For all the #MLROs and #AML leaders, you can keep pace with the dynamic #KYC market by following KYC AML Guide
KYC AML Guide helps #FIs and new economy businesses pick the right "Know Your Customer" solution to streamline customer onboarding and identity verification
Their website is a masterclass in digital resources: peakidv.link/KYCguide
