Sensory-Fujitsu collaboration to marginally influence biometrics industry

Sensory Inc, a Silicon Valley-based firm partaking in electronics and media industry, has recently announced its alliance with Fujitsu Limited to aid enterprises, retail and corporate banks, financial institutions, and various other sectors in embedding face biometrics within their mobile applications. Reportedly, the company’s face biometric authentication technology, named as TrulySecureTM, offers a highly-secure mobile banking experience without compromising on user convenience.  Furthermore, the latest technology is backed up with the FIDO Alliance certification which has reinforced its credibility.For the record, the FIDO Alliance is a cross-sector association that provides a robust set of certifications and guidelines for an emerging ecosystem of mobile, hardware and bio-metrics based authenticators. This ecosystem equips internet service providers to reduce password dependencies by deploying strong authentication solutions and safeguard against phishing which, consequentially, complements the continued efforts of industry leaders operating in the biometrics market.
