Recognized as "Visionary," Wins in
Biometrics, Phishing-Resistant MFA, and Privacy Enhancing
Technology in 12th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at RSAC
2024
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Badge Inc.,
the award-winning privacy company enabling Identity without
Secrets™ is proud to announce it has been selected as the top
solution across three different categories at the prestigious 12th
Annual Global InfoSec Awards presented by Cyber Defense Magazine
(CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security
magazine. CDM evaluated over 3,500 global companies with the most
respected information security products and services. In addition
to winning Most Innovative Biometrics Company, Badge was the sole
award winner for Privacy-Enhancing Technology and
Phishing-Resistant MFA.
"This award is a testament to Badge's breakthrough innovation
and the years of R&D behind our technology resulting in a
commercial product that fundamentally moves the trust anchor away
from vulnerable stored credentials into the hands of individuals,"
said Dr. Tina P. Srivastava,
Co-Founder of Badge. "Phishing attacks are on the rise and the
current state of security and privacy is broken. Recognition that
Badge is the best in these three areas carries a special meaning
given the importance of each category and we appreciate this high
honor."
Badge renders PII and biometric credential storage obsolete,
eliminating passwords, device redirects, and knowledge-based
authentication (KBA). With Badge, the user simply enrolls once,
then seamlessly authenticates across ecosystems on any device using
authentication factors that are unique and inherent to the user.
Biometric factors such as fingerprint or face can be combined with
other factors to create a strong and convenient MFA method that
does not rely on a specific device or token to authenticate users.
This makes Badge the only hardware-independent and
phishing-resistant MFA. Badge empowers users to move freely across
devices and platforms without losing access to their accounts or
compromising security.
"In our global search for cybersecurity innovators, we
specifically looked for solutions that could disrupt the status quo
and truly make a difference," said Gary S.
Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
"Demonstrating exceptional advancement in three critical
categories, Badge mitigates cyber risk in a cost-effective solution
that enhances privacy in both workforce and consumer settings. This
trifecta of innovation makes a huge difference and Badge has the
potential to help turn the tide against the exponential growth in
cyber-crime."
The judges of the Global InfoSec Awards are CISSP, FMDHS, CEH,
certified security professionals who voted based on their
independent review of the company, including but not limited to
data sheets, white papers, product literature and other market
variables. With this recognition, Badge reaffirms its position as a
leader in the industry, committed to driving innovation and
enhancing user security.
