New ForensicScope Regula 4125: Identity fraud detection

Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, has launched the portable and autonomous ForensicScope Regula 4125. The new device enables ID verification in any place and environment: at border and inland checkpoints, at airports, in transport, etc. Although the Regula 4125 is only smartphone-sized, it is capable of performing a wide range of document checks typical for professional forensic equipment. Integrity of most security features The new Regula 4125 is mainly useful for detecting morphing in photos in identity documents The new Regula 4125 is particularly effective at detecting morphing in photos in identity documents. Face morphing is an insidious threat that often remains undetected due to its nature. Unlike traditional document counterfeiting, which involves tampering with laminate layers or erasing data (often leaving visible signs of manipulation), morphing involves applying a thin layer of altered imagery over the document’s surface. This preserves the integrity of most security features but introduces subtle irregularities, such as micro-relief differences, gloss variations, and luminescence anomalies. Morphed ID portrait  To detect morphing, an expert needs specialised equipment. An experiment conducted by a group of scientists in Norway in 2022 proved that humans are rather unable to distinguish a morphed ID portrait with the naked eye. The Regula 4125 is equipped with a special 250х zoom camera installed at 45 degrees. This sharp angle illuminates the gloss left by the morphed photo printed over the original portrait. Features of Regula 4125 Highlighted features of Regula 4125: The device is super compact and can be brought to any checkpoint, inside or outside. Made of high-quality ABS plastic covering the aluminium frame, it is lightweight yet shockproof.   Regula 4125 is absolutely autonomous. It doesn't need external monitors, computers, an internet connection, or software updates. Powered by a built-in lithium-polymer battery, it supports up to 4 hours of continuous operation. The device is equipped with three cameras: the main one, an infrared (IR) one for full-page visualisation, and a special camera for detecting face morphing. Thanks to the 40х zoom in the main camera and 250х zoom in the camera for morphing detection, the device ensures very detailed examinations.    The Regula 4125 has 15 light sources, which allow experts to visualise phosphorescent inks, and check document security features and printing techniques at a deep level. As a result, all major types of counterfeits can be detected directly on the spot. Advanced forensic equipment “There are no rivalled analogs for our ForensicScope Regula 4125 on the market today. It’s a fundamentally new device, which effectively combines the usability of portable tools and the wide functionality of advanced forensic equipment." "This makes the Regula 4125 a critical asset for law enforcement and border control authorities in their fight against increasingly sophisticated fraud techniques,” says Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula. 

HackerOne boosts security with Hai updates

HackerOne, the cybersecurity company dedicated to eliminating vulnerabilities through continuous testing, announced updates to its intelligent copilot Hai. Hai’s new program insights synthesise data across a customer’s programs, giving them instant understanding and actionable summaries of performance, results, and trends. Now more seamlessly integrated into workflows, Hai continues to help customers save time by making it easy to understand comprehensive program data, improve team communication, and automate tasks for efficient vulnerability management. Customers are also using Hai more than ever, with adoption surging nearly 500% since April. Impact of security program  “Speed is critical for remediation, yet a lot of vulnerability management tasks are still manual and disjointed. Context gets lost, and security teams waste time searching for the information they need to make strategic decisions,” said Michiel Prins, Co-founder and Senior Director of Product Management at HackerOne. “Hai’s program insights solve this by giving customers instant visibility into the right trends so they take action on what will make the biggest impact for their security program.” Human-in-the-loop approach Hai’s human-in-the-loop approach enables customers to take faster strategic action while eliminating repetitive, manual tasks during vulnerability management. With Hai’s support, customers: Strengthen their understanding of program data. Hai can summarise lengthy vulnerability reports into actionable takeaways. Program insights offer at-a-glance visuals to quickly benchmark performance against platform data or detect patterns like reoccurring security risks for more consistent remediation strategies. Improve communication and collaboration across stakeholders. Hai offers writing assistance to help customers craft clear and concise messages to security researchers and internal teams, including language translations, grammar, and tone suggestions.  Accelerate remediation with contextual suggestions and custom Hai “Plays.” Hai automatically adapts to offer relevant follow-up suggestions within existing workflows for deeper insights. Hai Plays also eliminates repetitive tasks by allowing teams to build custom workflows informed by their organisation’s unique domain knowledge and business processes. Automate workflows across the software development lifecycle. Hai can generate custom vulnerability scanner templates, including Nuclei and Burp Suite, to improve scanner consistency. Hai also integrates with HackerOne Automations for dynamic automation that adapts to changing conditions, reducing manual program work. Cybersecurity posture Hai helps customers get the most out of the HackerOne Platform, which offers bug-bounty programs “When it comes to vulnerability management, we’re always looking for ways to make the process more efficient," said Clara Andress, Bug Bounty Operations Manager at Zoom. “Hai gives us actionable suggestions that have eliminated busy work, so we can complete tasks faster and think strategically about continuously improving our overall cybersecurity posture.” Hai helps customers get the most out of the HackerOne Platform, which offers bug bounty programs, vulnerability disclosure programs (VDPs), pentest as a service, and AI red teaming.  Hai’s actionable suggestions This year, HackerOne has accelerated Hai’s evolution, focusing on greater independence, enhanced contextual awareness, and personalised insights.  These advancements enable proactive, tailored recommendations that streamline vulnerability management workflows. Already, over half of HackerOne’s customers leverage Hai’s actionable suggestions and insights to boost efficiency and strengthen their security posture.
