COMPANY OVERVIEW

AuthenticID is solving the biggest business issue in the world today: Fraud.  

Fraud losses are skyrocketing for companies because the old model of verifying identity (“something you know”) isn't working with so many data breaches, hacks, dark web data sales and sophisticated fake ID creation. 

AuthenticID uses a next-generation model of verifying identity based on combining a government-issued ID (“something you have”) with biometric data of face/voice/fingerprint (“something you are”). Our solution provides identity verification in seconds using a mobile phone and is able to defeat most fraud attempts using advanced AI capabilities.

With many new Fortune 500 clients, AuthenticID is going through a rapid growth phase and needs people who understand this type of scaling and bring a passion to help solve big problems that affect millions daily.  

"Okay?" You might be asking.  It's great to talk about the business of privacy, but... what exactly are these solutions you're building? …We can't tell you quite yet.

Our job is to keep our work out of the wrong hands. But more than that, we need people on our team who believe in the mission to safeguard privacy amidst 21st century interactions.  It's more than a job, it's a movement on the frontlines of privacy and commerce affecting tens of millions every year.
