everis and InAuth sign agreement to improve digital identity security processes
- Under this agreement both companies will deliver solutions aimed at reducing fraud in digital channels and enhancing user experience
- The collaboration will facilitate financial institutions adapting to PSD2's security requirements
MADRID, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The multinational business consultancy everis and InAuth, a leading mobile digital device intelligence company, have signed a global agreement to strengthen security across its digital solutions and speed up the identification and authentication process of clients' digital transactions.
Although the technological solutions deployed through this relationship will be applicable across multiple industries, they will be targeted to the financial sector. The implementation of the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) regulation in Europe will require companies to execute exhaustive security protocols in the authentication process of their clients to reduce risks. Furthermore, this directive requires companies to implement malware detection mechanisms in electronic devices in order to avoid security breaches.
The introduction of additional security measures can affect the user experience between companies and their customers. Companies now have a duty to deliver compliant and secure solutions; however, in this case, they can do so by providing a simple capability for both the aspects of PSD2 pertaining to consent and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). The complexity of providing a compliant and secure solution can be hidden by providing a rich, easy-to-use interface on a mobile device, capable of receiving and sending encrypted contextual messages.
Under this agreement, everis and InAuth will work together to deploy solutions based on the most advanced risk analysis and detection technology. In the current context, where digital identity and personal data are key assets, the everis and InAuth relationship will focus on reducing fraud in digital channels and enhancing user experience.
"With this agreement, we want to provide frictionless transactions, ensuring security and improving user experience," explains Antonio García Zamarra, digital banking partner at everis. "Currently, mobile commerce is increasingly growing and InAuth's technology will allow us to identify mobile phones as trusted devices in order to limit risk and reduce fraud in digital channels."
According to Lisa Stanton, President of InAuth, "Mobile has become the de facto channel of choice for consumers. As a result, companies are required to deploy advanced methods of device authentication to better understand if the devices their customers are using are safe to transact with, if they are dealing with the true customer and if the customer's information on the device is protected. The resulting benefit is that the mobile device, when properly secured, can create a frictionless experience for the consumer."
