A McAfee study reports that one-third of companies polled believe a data breach could put them out of business. As much as you’d like to stop your employees from using a single password for all their accounts, it’s not enforceable. Sovay solves this problem by eliminating passwords.
The security industry is growing at an unprecedented pace, with new technology and advancements announced weekly. With so many new players entering the market each year, it’s hard to know who is in the winner’s circle now, and impossible to predict the winner’s circle for next year. Security solutions are huge investments, so it would be a tragedy to pick one of the losers. Which technologies will you use in your multi-factor solution?
Companies are paying $6.7M in direct costs for the average data breach and suffering $4.6M in lost business. In addition they are losing a third of their customers after the data breach. In 2008, US companies reported $221B in direct costs redressing data breaches. TJX spent $250M redressing a single data breach. Not many companies could survive a hit of this magnitude. Could yours?
Veritrix introduces Sovay, a human identification system. In a single action, Sovay identifies the user and confirms the user is live. Our patent-pending login process uses multimedia data to analyze the physical and behavioral attributes of the user. Since users can’t loan or copy themselves, Sovay eliminates user-controlled credentials. Users are relieved of the password burden. There are no credentials that can be shared, stolen, or carried. Identification of the human user is in real time.
Sovay provides a highly flexible framework, permitting the best available identification technologies to be used as they evolve. The architecture allows different login criteria for a single user, depending on the location, equipment available, and the information to be accessed. As technology and uniformity of equipment in your company changes, the system adapts to the new environment.
Sovay is built on industry-standard platforms (including Tomcat, Apache, MySQL, and Flash) and supports Native PC, PHP, and JSP clients. Sovay supports a variety of human recognition libraries. The framework uses a simple POJO interface that passes an XML parameter to your favorite library to leverage Sovay’s scalable and highly configurable framework.
