SIMPLIFY YOUR LOGIN EXPERIENCE – THE VALUE PROPOSITION

Complexity of password policy and various login requirements challenges users' daily lives. Improving login experience without compromising IT security is a hard problem that every company needs to solve. Multi-factor authentication combined with multi-modal biometrics simplifies your login and authentication experience while enhancing security.

Do you create unique passwords for every site that you log in to? Your doctor's portal? Bank account? Facebook, Gmail, PayPal? Do your passwords contain at least 10 to 12 digits? Do you make sure never to use your name, username or birthdate? Do you use uppercase and lowercase characters, at least one digit from 0 to 9, and special characters such as #, %, $, or &? Do you change your passwords every three months? No. Then you're leaving yourself vulnerable to hackers. It's no wonder why the regimen of creating and updating secure passwords is considered so grueling that most people just give up and hope they don't get hacked.

For business, the challenges and costs of using complex passwords and tokens for authentication are driving the adoption of biometrics – voice, face, and fingerprint recognition – to simplify user login and improve security. The following statistics tell the story:

• 43% of organizations had a data breach in 2014 ("The Second Annual Study on Data Breaches", Experian)
• 67% of data breaches occur due to compromised passwords (2015 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report).
• The average cost of a data breach is $3.8 million. (IBM 2015 Data Breach Study)

ImageWare's GoVerifyID service provides a flexible, innovative way to authenticate users and simplifies a customer's login experience. GoVerifyID authenticates users by having them take a selfie, speak a passphrase or swipe their finger on their smartphone or tablet. It's that simple.

As part of a flexible, highly secure biometric authentication system, your organization can choose:

• Desired biometric modalities (face, voice, or fingerprint)
• Preferred algorithms, including those from ValidSoft, SpeechPro, Cognitec, NEC and Lockheed Martin

With GoVerifyID, you can use your existing authentication workflows or enhance them with innovative, new capabilities.
