Porticus Technology introduces voice authentication for interactive voice response systems
New product is meant to authenticate mobile transactions, allow remote network access, and assist in pending two-factor authentication rules for online banking
Who’s calling, please? A new technology from Needham, Massachusetts-based Porticus Technology relies on the dynamic range of a person’s voice to authenticate mobile transactions and allow remote workers to access corporate networks using interactive voice response systems. The technology comes in the form of a VoIP gateway appliance or a set of APIs that integrate into IVRs through a Java interface. “Instead of typing a PIN number you just speak your password, and the technology detects your voiceprint and authenticates you to the network,” said Germano Di Mambro, founder and CEO.
The company also hopes to take advantage of pending federal regulations requiring two-factor authentication for companies that use online banking systems.
