“Flexible mobile biometric authentication, combined with secure web application access provides the ultimate in security and friendly user experience," said IWS Chairman and CEO Jim Miller. “ISAM users can now enjoy seamless integration and instantly access all of their apps by simply taking a selfie, using a fingerprint or speaking a passphrase. And, of course, as with all IWS mobile authentication products, users can always avail themselves of the latest advancements in biometric technology if they choose to do so as our GoVerifyID products are supported by our patented IWS Biometric Engine® that allows for unparalleled flexibility, scale, and security."
