Nicole McNamee-Wicks' Journey from Law Enforcement to Liveness Detection

In the latest episode of ID Talk, Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala sit down with Nicole McNamee-Wicks, Director of Biometric Cybersecurity at FaceTec and a former federal agent with over 30 years of law enforcement experience. Nicole shares how her career combating identity fraud with the SSA OIG led her to FaceTec – and why she believes the company’s technology could be a game-changer for securing documents and protecting individuals.

They discuss the rise of fake IDs, FaceTec’s industry-leading spoof bounty, and the UR Code: a compact, digitally signed biometric QR code that preserves privacy, requires no special hardware, and is free to deploy for governments and nonprofits. Nicole outlines real-world use cases from law enforcement to elder care, and explains why this scalable solution could be the most practical answer yet to America’s identity fraud crisis.
