BURLINGTON, MASS. – Biometric authentication technologies have witnessed a significant increase in demand in the global financial services industry in recent years, and the Middle East, Asia, and Africa are no exception. More traditional forms of authentication, like passwords, are increasingly vulnerable to hacking.

This represents a huge opportunity for us as financial services providers seek to achieve enhanced security, user convenience, and regulatory compliance,” says Craig Herman, chief revenue officer at Aware. “Furthermore, collaborating with Avanza Solutions will be instrumental in helping us scale and maximize this opportunity in these regions.”
“As Aware expands its footprint, we are very pleased to partner to bring both cloud-based and on-premises solutions from this recognized global industry leader to current and prospective customers,” says Jalil Ahmed Farooqui, group head of business development at Avanza Solutions. “Simultaneously, we are confident that our collaboration will benefit both our organizations and, most assuredly, the financial institutions we work with.”
