The frequency at which data breaches are happening globally is alarming, making security a major challenge to 'C' level personnel across industries. Traditional authentication methods such as passwords, PINs, and tokens are increasingly becoming obsolete. ImageWare’s innovative GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite solves these problems by providing multi-modal biometric user authentication as an end-to-end, turnkey solution.

ImageWare’s GoVerifyID is a multi-modal mobile biometric user authentication enterprise application. It is an end-to-end solution, including identity proofing, cloud provisioning, on-device enrollment, real-time authentication, seamless integration into existing security workflows, and a turnkey self-service portal. This mobile/cloud SaaS offering is the industry’s first multi-modal biometric user authentication solution that allows customers to strengthen the security of their passwords or two-factor authentication using biometrics. Rather than typing a password, end users can speak passphrases, swipe their fingerprints, or even take “selfies” to gain access.

Being a pioneer in biometrics for decades, ImageWare has years of experience in the biometric industry and built its brand through deployments in law enforcement applications. Over the years, ImageWare has shown a continuous stream of innovation to provide value to customers, such as the GoVerifyID Enterprise Suite that is Windows Server certified. The solution is device agnostic and allows user authentication via the cloud. The IWS Biometric Engine® allows the dynamic matching of biometric data with high accuracy levels and returns a match within a second. The solution can be deployed in minutes across clouds, servers, and clients for enterprise. In total, ImageWare holds 20 patents worldwide, with 14 pending.

ImageWare Systems provides a reliable, scalable, future-proof mobile biometric user authentication platform and a continual stream of innovative solutions for its customers. ImageWare solutions allow for present and future biometrics and are focused on addressing key industry challenges. ImageWare constantly engages with its customers at various forums to understand their challenges.
