Reflections inspired by Dr Ted Dunstone’s conversation with Artem Tulenov on Oz Talks
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape digital identity, organisations face a rapidly evolving challenge: protecting biometric systems against increasingly sophisticated attacks while maintaining trust in their technology.
In a recent episode of Oz Talks, Ted Dunstone, Managing Director of BixeLab, joined host Artem Tulenov, CISO of Oz Forensics, to discuss the future of biometric assurance, the growing importance of independent evaluation, and how emerging threats such as injection attacks and AI-generated fraud are changing the security landscape.
”Without an independent evaluation, you can't have real confidence.
Dr Ted DunstoneCEO and Founder BixeLab
Key Takeaways
Independent testing builds confidence
Developing a strong biometric solution is only part of the equation. Independent evaluations help identify weaknesses that internal teams may miss, providing objective evidence that supports procurement, deployment and regulatory decisions.
AI is changing the threat landscape
Deepfakes, synthetic identities and other AI-generated attacks are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Keeping biometric systems secure requires continuous improvement, regular evaluation, and close collaboration across the industry.
Injection attacks are becoming a critical consideration
While presentation attacks attempt to fool a camera or sensor, injection attacks target the software pipeline itself. As Ted explains in the interview, organisations need to evaluate the security of the entire system—not just individual components.
Trust requires ongoing assurance
Testing represents a snapshot in time. As attack techniques continue to evolve, maintaining trust means continuously reassessing systems against new threats rather than treating security as a one-time exercise.
Watch the Full Interview
The conversation explores independent biometric testing, AI-driven threats, injection attack detection, international standards, and the future of biometric assurance.
Whether you’re developing biometric technology, evaluating vendors, or simply interested in the future of digital identity, the interview provides valuable insights into how organisations can build trust through independent evaluation.
