Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Biometrics have become the technology of choice for digital user authentication, enabling individuals to securely and effortlessly unlock devices and access online services, such as bank accounts and health records. iProov is the world leader in online facial biometric authentication, working with governments, banks and other enterprises to remotely verify customer identity.

iProov’s patented technology provides Genuine Presence Assurance, ensuring that an online customer is the correct person, a real person, and, critically, that they are authenticating at that particular moment – not an imposter or a machine-driven cyber-attack. It detects and prevents all known identity spoof attack vectors including masks, replay attacks, compromised devices, and the emerging threat of Deep Fake artificial video.

Customers in Financial services and Enterprise markets have adopted iProov's systems for online login, step-up authentication, and remote identity verification based on trusted ID documents. The company is running in production with a number of major global banks, including ING and Rabobank. iProov is also working with Government organisations including the US Department of Homeland Security and the UK Government.
