ImageWare®Systems, Inc. announced the release of ImageWare Authenticate, a software solution that enables customers to seamlessly integrate biometric multifactor authentication (MFA) into existing business and consumer applications. ImageWare Authenticate delivers key authentication benefits for customers to leverage today: Multimodal biometric scanning from mobile device (no special equipment needed); Biometric matching in the Cloud, enabling biometric authentication across multiple devices; Seamless integration into existing applications through OIDC and SAML. More than 80% of all cybersecurity breaches leveraged passwords, as reported in the Verizon 2020 Data Breach Report. An immense $945 billion (over 1% of global GDP) is lost to cybercrime each year, as reported by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. As a result, the FBI recommends, "More complex forms of multi-factor authentication such as biometrics or behavioral authentication methods." ImageWare Authenticate delivers exactly that – a move from unsecure password protection to multifactor authentication using multimodal biometrics with Cloud-based matching to ensure seamless use across all of one's devices. Using biometrics to authenticate someone's identity remains one of the safest and easiest validation methods. The unique qualities of a person's face, fingerprint, palmprint, voice, or iris make biometric authentication the most accurate method for end user assurance. Fusing multiple biometrics gives users an even higher rate of accuracy. Most phones have a built-in camera and microphone to capture users' biometrics, ensuring that no additional equipment is necessary. ImageWare Authenticate provides users with the security, safety and ease of use.
