We created a platform to ID users at the other end of the digital connection, taking into consideration user privacy and data security. Organizations around the globe have recognized this as ideal for passwordless authentication because it drastically simplifies the user experience, it’s Kubernetes underpinning, and ease of integration with SDK / API, but it does all of this without introducing new vulnerabilities, need for additional tailoring of network or IT / Security talent.

Users will utilize their trusted mobile device for daily authentication and step-up authentication for physical or logical access.
