Keyless, a London-based cybersecurity company, has been awarded the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Best Multi-Factor Authentication for its innovative IDV Bridge feature. The recognition comes amid significant growth for the company, which reported a 657 percent increase in annual recurring revenue during 2024.
The IDV Bridge feature combines biometric authentication with identity verification (IDV) to streamline the user authentication process. Once users complete an initial identity verification, they can use their biometrics for subsequent authentications, eliminating the need for repeated identity checks while maintaining high security standards.
“We’re honored to receive this award for our IDV Bridge feature,” said Andrea Carmignani, CEO and co-founder of Keyless. “It represents our commitment to making digital identity both secure and user-friendly. By bridging the gap between identity verification and authentication, we’re setting a new standard in cybersecurity.”
The award follows several significant developments for Keyless, including the recent launch of their browser-based biometric authentication SDK and the integration of their authentication solution with Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The company has also demonstrated strong technical capabilities, making a notable debut in the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) program.
The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, produced by Cybersecurity Insiders in partnership with the Information Security Community on LinkedIn, recognize outstanding achievements in information security. Keyless’s win highlights the growing importance of seamless, secure authentication solutions in the cybersecurity landscape.
The company’s innovative approach to authentication builds on its established expertise in privacy-preserving biometric technology, including its patented method of breaking biometric data into ‘shards’ for enhanced security. This latest recognition reinforces Keyless’s position as a leading provider of advanced authentication solutions.
