TORONTO – EnStream is offering more services that use real-time mobile network and account information to protect and confirm a consumer's online identity.
The mobile commerce joint venture company owned by Bell, Rogers and Telus said that the new services include enhanced analytics for name and address matching, mobile device authentication and mobile location services covering over 90% of the Canadian market, all without requiring any pre-loaded software on mobile devices.
"Validating identity is perhaps one of the biggest challenges on the Internet today, especially with the move to mobile," said EnStream’s chief identity officer Robert Blumenthal, in the news release. "Unlike other threat detection systems, real-time information about mobile subscribers and their devices provides reliable and definitive information to improve the user experience while mitigating risk and fraud."
Used by banks, credit bureaus, insurance companies, government, and utilities, among others, EnStream added that its identity verification services are secure and private with no personally identifiable information provided to third party companies without end-user consent.
