Preparing for the Mythos Era with Aware's Brian Krause

Recorded on-site at Identity Week Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, this episode of ID Talk features Aware Chief Revenue Officer Brian Krause for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is reshaping the identity security landscape. As generative AI enables fraudsters to operate at unprecedented speed and scale, Krause argues that the industry's focus must shift beyond one-time identity verification toward continuous trust, agile defences, and what Aware calls "orchestration" – the ability to intelligently deploy and adapt biometric technologies across the entire customer journey.

Krause also discusses why enterprises should prepare for a new era of AI-powered attacks, the growing importance of proving "humanhood" through passive liveness detection, and why he believes passwords – not biometrics – are the real source of friction in digital identity. He also shares Aware's vision for bringing cloud-style resilience to biometric security, enabling organizations to rapidly respond as fraud tactics continue to evolve.
