Clarity specializes in real-time deepfake detection and identity verification. The acquisition is Deel's 15th and forms its first dedicated cybersecurity division. The move addresses a growing problem: Gartner predicts 25% of candidate profiles globally will be fraudulent by 2028. Rather than one-time identity checks at hiring, Deel plans to embed Clarity's continuous verification technology across sourcing, onboarding, device provisioning, and ongoing access management. The announcement coincides with Deel surpassing $1.5B in ARR and being valued at over $17B, serving 40,000+ organizations in 150 countries. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
