Improved security & customer satisfaction
The importance of security cannot be understated. Today's businesses rely on working with known customers in a friction‑free environment. To get to that level of customer service, organisations need to be confident that their customer is who they say they are. This is why leading organisations around the world are addressing this problem with our AI‑driven biometric security solutions.
Biometric authentication
From voice and behavioural to fingerprint and other biometric modalities, Nuance biometric solutions provides multiple ways to provide faster, more secure authentication with less customer effort.
Authenticate in the IVR
Our suite of security solutions such as Nuance Gatekeeper provide state‑of‑the‑art, multimodal biometrics for authenticating customers before they reach an agent. This authentication can be done using a passphrase or natural language, so your customers don't have to remember a complicated PIN or password.
Authenticate without interruption
Authenticate a user while an agent is speaking with your customer. Nuance Gatekeeper compares the voice on the phone to the voiceprint on file and flags the agent in real time—within 10 seconds of conversation.
Authenticate with your mobile app
Imagine enabling your customers to authenticate with a selfie (a picture taken from their phone) or using their voice.
Fraud detection + prevention
Nuance fraud solution accurately identifies the criminals behind account takeover attempts enabling organisations to go from fraud displacement to fraud prosecution.
ConversationPrint™
A form of behavioural biometrics, ConversationPrint™ is a true industry first and can identify fraudulent activity in real‑time based on a choice of words and patterns of speech or writing during an interaction with a human or a virtual assistant. Speech‑to‑text, a core competency of Nuance, is applied to short speech segments to analyse vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, and more that are unique at an individual level.
Behavioural Biometrics
Each person is unique in how they interact with their world. Nuance Gatekeeper analyses biometric behaviour patterns including how a person types, uses a mouse, holds their smartphone or even how they pause when accomplishing a task. If these behaviours change, such as when a fraudster hijacks a chat session, Nuance Gatekeeper can flag the user as changed and escalate to a fraud specialist.
