ForgeRock’s identity platform brings in two-factor authentication solution

ImageWare Systems’ GoVerifyID solution has been certified for use with the ForgeRock Identity Platform.

The integration enables ForgeRock customers to very easily add ImageWare’s Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and biometric multi-modal authentication to their ForgeRock systems.

Following the deal, users can simply take a selfie, speak a phrase, swipe their finger, or show their palm to provide the ultimate in user assurance and convenience. Organisations can also elect to use phone-as-a-token (i.e. secure push notification) with a simple Yes/No or a PIN, as a simple two- factor authentication method.

Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare said “Integrating GoVerifyID with ForgeRock’s identity platform brings our ultra-scalable and flexible 2FA, MFA and biometric authentication solution to this leading customer-oriented IAM solution. We look forward to working with ForgeRock to develop joint business development and go-to-market plans including co-marketing and targeted co-selling to ForgeRock’s extensive list of world class partners with large numbers of consumer users.”
