More than ever, facial recognition technology is being highlighted. Investments in face recognition have quickly increased in the past due to historical occurrences. We might expect increased investment in biometric technologies such as facial recognition given the global COVID-19 pandemic. Contactless encounters are highly valued because of the very contagious nature of COVID-19. Security solutions remain the main application of facial recognition technology. In a variety of industries, facial recognition is acknowledged as one of the most reliable and user-friendly methods for determining an individual's identification. 

With the help of modern technology, a machine can now quickly identify or validate a person by scanning their face—a process known as face recognition. Additionally, this system is capable of real-time identity verification using images, videos, and other media. Face recognition technologies are mostly utilized in government, business, and office settings. It offers security and transparency at these locations.

iProov is a pioneer in biometric face verification internationally. The company makes it possible for banks, governments, and other institutions to confirm that an online person is who they say they are. This facilitates access to online services and reduces the risk of identity theft and other cybercrimes.

Bolstering the security of organizations

In 2011, a Big Idea led to the founding of iProov. That Big Idea concentrated on a singularly elegant and straightforward solution to a difficult problem: demonstrating the veracity of an online persona.

The founder and CEO, Andrew Bud, had experienced at first hand the terrible impacts of online criminal activities. He committed himself to finding a technique that would allow companies to confirm the legitimacy of an online user: first, by ensuring that the person creating an account was, in fact, that person; and second, by authenticating that person each time that person returned to complete a safe online transaction.

The Big Idea was to read a face's biometric and confirm a person's identity using colored lighting and facial biometrics. What makes facial biometrics so special? Since the majority of ID documents include a photo of the wearer's face, identity can be confirmed using a reliable source. Why would colored lighting be used? Because it’s entirely straightforward for the user — no following instructions or movement is necessary. Just a quick, easy "ceremony" that lasted only a few seconds. This provides the highest level of security assurance that a user is not a photo, mask, deepfake video, imposter, or any of the many other advanced cyberattack techniques employed by criminal gangs worldwide.

In order to verify online citizens and customers with security, usability, and privacy, financial services, travel and health providers, digital identity providers, the public sector, governments, and financial institutions rely on iProov, the industry leader in genuine presence assurance.
