Through this alliance, the companies intend to equip financial institutions ability to protect clients by statistically scoring the behaviors they use during transactions.
Users’ actions –like the way they swipe their smartphones – are very distinct, so continuous machine learning can authenticate users based not on what they do, but on how they do it, NetGuardians said.
BehavioSec VP engineering Ingo Deutschmann said: “This is superior transactional security to older methods such as passwords. A password can be hacked, but a swipe style cannot. At the same time, because it does not require users to take additional security steps, it offers the ease-of-use that consumers ask for. Users are protected in such a way that they don’t have to think about their security. Security is built into their own actions.”
NetGuardians added that financial firms can add this transaction-level protection to its operational risk solutions, which will provide end-to-end risk mitigation and continuous control for fraud protection and regulatory compliance.
