How they describe their product/innovation: Illuma Access is a real-time voice authentication service to secure inbound phone calls into call centers. Replacing archaic methods like passwords and personal Q&A, Illuma Access passively and continuously analyzes the unique audio characteristics of the caller’s voice and recording device over natural conversation. This results in higher authentication accuracy in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. Illuma Access differentiates over competitors with a lightweight privacy preserving implementation that satisfies stringent security requirements of banking, insurance, benefits, and government call centers. The technology enhances security against fraudsters, elevates the user experience, and reduces operating costs.
