Describe your company's current technology and solutions
AI-powered Continuous Multi-factor Authentication
Zighra's patented technology delivers real-time behavioural intelligence and powerful security controls to continuously ascertain the identity of the user, without the slightest disruption to user experience. With Zighra, you know exactly when you are interacting with your user and when you are not, down to the very second and help secure the organization and users against remote attacks, phishing attacks, and other credential threat vectors.
Zighra's FIDO (Fast Identity Online)-certified behavioural authentication solution turns a smartphone into a smartcard by combining public-key encryption with mobile-initiated authentication. The platform is designed to guard and protect access security continuously compared to traditional multifactor authentication. It allows Security Officers to immediately know whether they are interacting with their departmental users. It helps secure the organization and its users against phishing attacks, unauthorized remote access, and other credential threat vectors. This, in turn, will reduce the costs of IT and password management. It will also allow management control over request-based actions, including blocking or accepting requests. The platform is deployable on-premise, in the cloud or on-device and is supported on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Zighra Inc. is an Ottawa-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) cybersecurity company with over a decade of academic and commercial experience. Zighra provides identity protection infrastructure for modern applications. The solution was developed in the research labs of some of the top engineering schools in Canada. To date, over 15 pending and granted patents have resulted in over 100 patent citations. The Zighra team is comprised of scientists and cybersecurity experts who have built the world's first behavioural recognition identity protection solution powered by on-device AI. Zighra's platform combines inputs from generative behavioural models and biological systems to train, adapt, and accelerate security execution that differs from the AI security approaches commonly used today. With Zighra, user and device identities are continuously verified and protected, creating a secure identity architecture for any organization.
