Nok Nok Labs and ThreatMetrix have joined forces to enhance the authentication capabilities of the latter’s eponymous platform.
The collaboration will see new authentication methods offered to ThreatMetrix customers based on biometrics in the form of fingerprint, facial, voice, and iris recognition, as well as other technology like wearables and tokens. And coming as they do from Nok Nok Labs, these solutions will imbue the ThreatMetrix platform with FIDO certified authentication methods.
In a statement officially announcing the companies’ partnership, ThreatMetrix Chief Products Officer Alisdair Faulkner pointed to the growing importance of sophisticated authentication technologies, asserting, “We live in a post-breach world, where usernames and passwords are defunct”.
