Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT) today announced that it has been awarded a 2015 “New Product of the Year” honor from Security Products magazine, a publication focused on integrated product and technology solutions for security professionals. The company was recognized for its identity authentication and fraud detection solution under the “user authentication/identification/credentialing and management” category.

The industry awards program, now in its seventh year, recognizes outstanding product development achievements of solution providers whose offerings are considered noteworthy in their ability to improve security.

Notes Ralph C. Jensen, editor in chief, Security Products magazine, “The New Product of the Year awards program provides the industry with a great view into security solutions available in this fast-evolving market. Our judges conduct a thorough and rigorous evaluation of each nomination to identify the best-of-the-best in security solutions today.”

Verint Identity Authentication and Fraud Detection™ leverages advanced voice biometrics and predictive analytics to verify legitimate customers, and identify and thwart fraudsters during live calls. The solution applies passive voice biometrics to profile and recognize the unique vocal characteristics of callers and stores the voiceprints of known fraudsters in a database that silently screens calls against it. This enables organizations to effectively detect the voices of known fraudsters and help reduce financial losses, all without disrupting the experience for valid customers. Using the solution, customer engagement centers can effectively verify the identity of customers more quickly, easily and securely than traditional authentication methods, thereby reducing customer effort and service delays associated with the number of security questions asked.
