Early Warning, a provider of fraud prevention and risk management solutions, has introduced its new Authentify platform, a suite of solutions that enables a simplified, unified approach to authentication.

According to a press release, the Authentify platform allows organizations to centralize and control multiple authentication methods through a single interface, turning on capabilities as needed. Current authenticators include:

• two-factor out-of-band via voice and SMS;
• mobile network operator intelligence;
• voice, fingerprint and behavioral biometrics;
• near field communication;
• threat detection;
• device binding; and
• secure messaging.

This single-vendor omnichannel, multifactor solution offers the benefit of requiring just one implementation, the release said.

Authentify eliminates the issue of having to deploy multiple independent authenticators, a "bolt-on" approach that can be costly and resource intensive, and that causes friction in the consumer experience, the release said.

"The Authentify Platform addresses the multi-dimensional challenge of payments' risk. It brings together multiple modes of authentication – all sitting on top of a bank consortium model that is powered by shared intelligence – to simplify risk-managed authentication while strengthening accuracy and speed to optimize the consumer experience," Early Warning Vice President of Authentication Solutions Peter Tapling said in the release.
