Authentication is changing!
… because consumers prefer simplicity!

“Nearly two-thirds of consumers (64%) want to use biometrics as a
method of payment authentication and familiarity is increasing the
comfort level ...”
Why now?
Changing user's
expectations1 Users expect fast, convenient, safe, and personalized solutions.
Technology
Innovations2
New opportunities emerge as new authentication technologies are
becoming simple commodities (e.g.: device based and biometrics ones).
Mobility3 New devices allow users to access data anytime from anywhere.
Increasing Threats5
Fraud, identity theft and targeted attacks on practically every industries are
becoming more frequent and sophisticated.
The Cloud4
No more “network perimeter” based security with the increasing reliance on
cloud and web services.
Why now?
Increased
Competition6
Non-bank attackers and “digital only” banks are getting to “own the
customer“ and create value through adjacent services.
Regulatory
Compliance7
Requires banks to comply with Strong Customer Authentication and
Tokenization (e.g. PSD2).
Especially for Banks and other Financial Institutions:
How?
What is the cost, time and complexity of integrating biometrics technology into
existing IT infrastructure? Doesn’t it outweighs the benefits?
Which one of the different types of biometric security products should we choose?
Is biometric authentication enough? Should it be used all and every time? Or
should it be combined with others methods?
Blowed with operational questions?
