Veridas Achieves CEN/TS 18099 High Level Certification, the only International Standard Against Injection Attacks

License to Operate in Europe: This technical standard is a requirement to comply with the ETSI TS 119 461 v2.1.1 framework and the new European AMLR (July 2027)

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ --
- Rising Threat: Injection Attacks (IAD), where fraudsters bypass the camera and directly manipulate the data stream, have surged as an advanced and scalable tactic used by cybercriminals over traditional fraud.

- Maximum Technical Protection: CLR Labs, a global pioneer laboratory for the CEN/TS 18099 standard, has certified Veridas’ ability to successfully block injection attacks by passing the most demanding tests in the industry.


Digital fraud has evolved at an unprecedented pace, driven by generative AI. Fraudsters have diversified their tactics toward more scalable, cheaper, and industrializable models, such as Injection Attacks (IAD), where evidence is introduced directly into the data stream by manipulating the channel or the device.

To tackle this vulnerability, Veridas launched its advanced injection attack detection solution in early 2025 and has now become one of the first companies worldwide to achieve the CEN/TS 18099 certification with a High Level of Assurance (LoA High). This European Technical Specification is the first official testing methodology globally designed specifically to evaluate systems' resistance to injection attacks.

To achieve this High Level, Veridas’ technology was audited by CLR Labs, a pioneer laboratory in the development of the standard. Their specialists replicated the real fraud ecosystem over several months, attacking the system with multiple injection vectors. The methodology evaluates three threat levels (basic, substantial, and high). Achieving the highest rating certifies that Veridas blocks the most advanced attacks in the market.

“Obtaining this certification is the result of months of work and years of developing the most advanced technologies on the market for detecting injection attacks. Achieving it is a major milestone and further proof of our technological leadership in the world of identity” said Javier San Agustín, CTO of Veridas.

CEN/TS 18099 LoA High: An indispensable requirement under the new AMLR regulation

Beyond ensuring technical security, having this certified technology is a mandatory requirement for identity providers and Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) serving the financial, crypto-asset, insurance, and gaming sectors. Its implementation is critical for compliance with the ETSI TS 119 461 v2.1.1 standard, mandated by the new European Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which will become strictly enforced on July 10, 2027.

"Achieving this certification secures our position as identity leaders under this new AMLR regulatory framework; a leadership backed by our recent inclusion as Visionaries in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the second consecutive year. This positions us as the trusted partner for financial institutions, guaranteeing the exact technical evidence regulators demand to operate with total legal certainty, including in web environments," stated Alfonso Urrizburu, CRO of Veridas.

Since the certification process requires months of laboratory testing, the market anticipates that very few providers will manage to meet the AMLR deadline. Therefore, institutions currently operating with uncertified identity verification (KYC) platforms run the risk of failing to guarantee timely compliance with the new European Anti-Money Laundering regulations.
