Leading digital identity verification provider also earns gold for fastest growing cybersecurity company and silver for fraud prevention
Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and authentication solutions, today announced it won three Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Jumio was named the gold winner in the AI security and fastest growing cybersecurity company (1,000-4,999 employees) categories, and the silver winner in the fraud prevention category. The annual award program honors individuals and companies that demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership in information security.
Jumio was recognized for its record-breaking growth with nearly doubled revenues year-over-year and for Jumio Authentication, an AI-powered video-selfie authentication solution that was first in the market to leverage face-based biometrics for initial identity proofing and ongoing user authentication.
Jumio uses a unique hybrid approach of informed AI, machine learning, face-based biometrics, certified liveness detection and computer vision technologies to thwart fraud, simplify compliance and determine if users are who they claim to be. Scientists at Jumio’s AI Labs are developing deep learning models to improve identity verification accuracy and speed, which have reduced the average customer transaction time by more than 50%.
“AI is at the heart of Jumio’s business, and our team is dedicated to leveraging AI to help companies fight fraud,” said Robert Prigge, Jumio CEO. “We’re honored our efforts are validated by explosive company growth and distinguished recognition by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.”
This recognition follows on the heels of a momentous year for Jumio. In 2019, Jumio received 21 industry awards for innovation, cybersecurity and company growth, including being named one of Fast Company’s 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World, a 2019 Fortress Cyber Security Award winner for Authentication and Identity, a Best Place to Work by Business Intelligence Group, the Fastest Growing Cybersecurity Company in the 2019 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards and a winner of Business Intelligence Group’s 2019 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards.
