TypingDNA offers behavioral biometrics as opposed to physiological\u2014fingerprint, iris, or vocal\u2014biometrics. It uses end-users\u2019 typing behaviors on both desktops and mobile devices to authenticate their identities, allowing secondary MFA authentication even as they input their usernames and passwords. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff Bohren, Chief Software Engineer at Optimal IdM, said in a statement: \u201cStealing someone\u2019s typing pattern is practically impossible. Duplicating them would be even harder, because no one has the exact same typing behavior. Typing biometrics improve security by preventing identity theft and minimizing the risk of online fraud.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Curcio, VP of Channel Sales and Partnerships at Optimal IdM, said on the partnership with TypingDNA: \u201cHaving this kind of behavioral authentication extends our MFA offering and strengthens our portfolio. We are very excited about our partnership with TypingDNA because of the ease of use and quick implementation they bring.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

MFA authentication has received increasing attention over the past few years as single-factor authentication\u2014usually in the form of passwords\u2014has proven inadequate for securing identities in the modern threat landscape. Biometrics have received similar interest as they cannot be stolen easily and cannot be forgotten or lost.<\/span><\/p>\n
