Cyber Defense Magazine Recognizes Jumio for InfoSec Innovation

Jumio, the leading AI-powered trusted identity as a service provider, today announced it was named Market Leader in Compliance, Best Product in Biometrics and Best Product in Fraud Prevention by the 2019 InfoSec Awards.

Now in its seventh year, the InfoSec Awards, created by Cyber Defense Magazine, is an annual review of the market-leading, next-generation and cutting-edge InfoSec companies offering innovative cybersecurity products and services. Jumio was judged by CISSP, FMDHS and CEH-certified security professionals who voted based on their independent review of the company’s data sheets, white papers, product literature and other market variables.

Jumio’s mission is to make the internet a safer place by protecting the online ecosystem against fraud and bad actors with end-to-end identity verification and authentication solutions. Jumio supports some of the largest organizations across many sectors — including financial services, sharing economy, retail, travel, digital currency, healthcare and online gaming — and continues to grow as more companies turn to Jumio to protect their online businesses and customers against identity theft, account takeover and other flavors of online fraud.

“This recognition validates the need for advanced identity verification solutions as cybercrime continues to gain momentum,” said Stephen Stuut, CEO of Jumio. “By leveraging biometrics and AI to verify user identity, we are taking the necessary steps to fight online fraud and tackle security challenges. We are honored our efforts were recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine, and we will continue to invest in new technologies to ensure that we continue to innovate in the InfoSec industry.”

This recognition comes on the heels of Jumio’s strong 2018 growth, in which Jumio increased its customer count by 60 percent and sales by 70 percent year-over-year. Jumio’s innovations, driven by augmented intelligence, machine learning and 3D liveness detection, have enabled the company to become the global leader in online identity proofing and ongoing authentication.

“Jumio was named a winner in three different categories after we reviewed nearly 3,000 global InfoSec companies, because they are leading industry innovators in biometrics, fraud prevention and compliance,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher, Cyber Defense Magazine.
