The average cost of data breaches is continually rising, and experts maintain that threat actors behind these breaches are increasingly aggressive. In 2018, data breaches compromised more than 2.5 billion records in the United Statesalone. According to the Ponemon Institute, this equates to US$370 billion in business losses. This landscape prompted a growing need for multifactor authentication controls. However, implementing tighter security is often complicated and frequently leads to a negative customer experience. Together, tyntec and Averon are changing this dynamic, introducing DAA to provide tighter security through a back-end, two-factor authentication cycle that occurs without the need for SMS or user actions.

“While myriad authentication solutions have come and gone, user impact and experience have remained stagnant in recent years,” said Thorsten Trapp, CTO at tyntec. “Today’s security threats are moving too quickly for reactive measures, making seamless, real-time authentication an absolute necessity. Through our partnership with Averon, we look forward to delivering secure, effective, multifactor authentication solutions that also enable enterprises to offer a positive and streamlined user experience.”

Today, Averon provides the only fully automated mobile authentication solution designed to replace complicated legacy methods, including SMS, app downloads and email codes. Using the mobile SIM as the source of trust, it eliminates password hacks and provides a completely frictionless cycle, requiring no user action. The solution can authenticate mobile phones, PC and tablet devices, manage role-based cloud access, secure mobile payments and instantly detect fraud at checkout.

“A lot of businesses struggle to balance effective security and authentication protocols with elegant user experience,” said Wendell Brown, CEO at Averon. “Companies understand the risks they face, from sophisticated threat actors to an increasingly complex connected economy. Until now, they have been forced to choose between ‘ideal usability’ and ‘ideal security.’ Averon’s technology changes that, and with tyntec, we are bringing a new option that provides the best of both worlds: the strongest authentication with the easiest use.”

Building on tyntec’s leadership in global multifactor authentication services, Averon will now have distribution across mobile carrier networks around the globe. tyntec will be the exclusive provider of network signaling data for Averon outside the United States, in regions including EMEA, Latin America and APAC.
