Verid's knowledge-based authentication to be integrated into the RSA(R)
Adaptive Authentication solution
BEDFORD, Mass./FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
RSA Security announced today that it has teamed with Verid in order to
further expand the range of strong authentication technologies included in
its comprehensive RSA(R) Adaptive Authentication solution. RSA Security
will integrate Verid's widely-adopted knowledge-based authentication (KBA)
technology into the RSA Adaptive Authentication platform.
"Verid is a clear leader in providing knowledge-based authentication,
which both we and our customers believe is an important part of a
comprehensive approach to consumer protection," said Chris Young, senior
vice president and general manager, Consumer Solutions Division, RSA
Security. "The RSA Adaptive Authentication solution is designed to meet the
needs of various consumer segments as well as the different business
requirements in the financial industry. Verid's knowledge-based
authentication is another great addition to our mix of secure and
user-friendly technologies."
RSA Security's risk-based authentication technology analyzes every
online transaction and scores the potential fraud-risk based on a broad
range of metrics. Additional authentication is invoked -- in real-time --
for high-risk transactions. To date, the main methods of additional
authentication included an automated phone call or secret questions. Now,
Verid's knowledge-based authentication will also be offered to financial
institutions as an option for high-risk situations.
Verid's knowledge-based authentication technology presents consumers
with a series of personalized questions based on deep background data
derived from a variety of public and commercially available information
sources. The technology conducts sophisticated analytics to build a
comprehensive knowledge profile and guides the consumer through an
intuitive and interactive process until identity is confirmed.
"We're delighted to partner with a leader like RSA Security," said
Chris Rickborn, COO of Verid. "The combination of our advanced KBA
technology with the proven RSA Adaptive Authentication solution provides
financial institutions and other businesses with a combination of robust
technologies that will fit numerous security needs, preferences and
scenarios."
