If you’re looking for a who’s who of the top cybersecurity technology vendors, the shortlist for the SC Awards is an excellent place to start.

The SC Awards are recognized as the gold standard of achievement for cybersecurity providers, products and professionals.

The 2020 shortlist was announced yesterday and iProov is extremely proud to announce that we are featured for Best Authentication Technology.

The shortlist was decided by a prestigious panel of expert judges, who use a set of criteria to recognize the industry players that are at the top of their game. iProov’s biometric Genuine Presence Assurance technology is being used by organisations around the world, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.K. Home Office, the NHS, Rabobank, and ING, to provide consumers with secure, effortless access to online services.

What is Genuine Presence Assurance?

Genuine Presence Assurance allows governments, financial service institutions, travel providers, and other enterprises to confirm that an online user of a service is:

• The right person – the individual trying to access an account or service is the holder of that account and not an impersonator
• A real person – photos or masks are not being used to gain unauthorized access
• Present right now – the authentication is happening in real-time and is not a replay attack, where a video of a previous authentication is rerun to gain unauthorized access

What are the SC Awards?

The SC Awards are recognized as the pinnacle of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals, products and services. For over 20 years, the awards have recognized the vendors and leaders that are protecting consumers and businesses from cyber-attacks.

SC Awards Europe 2020 will be announcing the winners online on 2nd June 2020. In the meantime, keep in touch with iProov on Twitter or LinkedIn.
