Companies are facing a new generation of AI-powered fraud that can bypass passwords, SMS codes, and traditional authentication workflows. SLC Guardian leverages the secure SIM or eSIM already embedded within mobile devices to establish cryptographic proof that the right person—not an AI agent, malware, or impersonator—is authorizing every high-risk action. By shifting verification to the hardware level, SLC Guardian significantly reduces identity fraud while minimizing friction for the end user. “Financial institutions are entering a new era where verifying identity is only part of the equation,” said Travis McGregor, CEO and co-founder of SLC Digital. “The challenge organizations face today isn't simply knowing who a user is. It's proving that every high-risk transaction or action was intentionally authorized by the legitimate person on a trusted device. SLC Guardian provides that cryptographic proof, creating a foundation for digital trust in an era where AI can convincingly impersonate almost anyone.” Built on SLC Digital's hardware-rooted identity architecture, SLC Guardian delivers: <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-top:12pt;">Hardware-rooted authorization anchored in the SIM/eSIM and mobile network</li><li>Cryptographic proof that sensitive actions were explicitly approved</li><li>Global reach, integrated with more than 600 mobile networks across 180+ countries through a single API, including eSIM support</li><li>Future-ready protection against AI-powered fraud, deepfakes, credential theft, account takeover, phishing, and social engineering</li><li>Seamless integration with existing enterprise identity, fraud, and security infrastructure </li></ul> “AI is fundamentally changing how organizations need to think about trust and authorization. As digital fraud becomes more sophisticated, we believe stronger forms of cryptographic assurance will play an increasingly important role in protecting transactions and delivering a secure customer experience,” said <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=qAxIXeRN13RHX7H__GL5HobarTCEdYsdsfih1eBfOfj681I336xNS28hRgkKUI-Ik17qyo7ZCNmlfD6FSrxwzw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Amar Akshat</a>, SVP Architecture at Paysafe. “SLC Guardian offers an innovative approach to helping enterprises prepare for this next generation of digital security.” The platform is designed for organizations operating in highly regulated industries, including banking, payments, healthcare, telecommunications, government, and critical infrastructure where proving authorization is becoming just as important as verifying identity in an era of AI-generated fraud and autonomous digital agents.
