Mitek Wins in Next Gen Telecoms Fraud Prevention category in Cyber Defense Magazine’s 12^th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at #RSAC 2024

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2024-- Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK) has been named winner of the Next Gen Telecoms Fraud Prevention category in Cyber Defense Magazine’s (CDM) Annual Global InfoSec Awards competition. CDM, the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine, announced the 2024 winners at the RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco.

Mitek was recognized for its identity verification solution, which enables wireless service providers to use in-store tablets at the point-of-sale to accurately verify a customer’s identity quickly, safely, and easily with just a government-issued identity document and a selfie. Whether customers are opening a new account, picking up an online order or simply upgrading their device, sales associates can quickly discern good customers from fraudsters with greater speed and far more accuracy. This results in fewer fraud-related losses, greater operational efficiency and a consistent onboarding experience between both in-store and online channels.

By integrating Mitek's solutions into in-store verification processes, mobile providers achieve the dual objectives of mitigating risk through a reduction in human error and increasing new customer satisfaction.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious award from Cyber Defense Magazine,” said Mitek Senior Vice President of Identity, Chris Briggs. “With leading information security experts from around the world judging the competition, it makes this award even more special.”

“Today’s heightened threat environment presents more challenges than ever,” said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine. “Mitek is absolutely worthy of this coveted award and worth considering for deployment in your environment. The company stands out among innovators who are turning the tide against the growth in identity fraud and worth considering when seeking to reduce your organization’s risk profile.”
