Episode 130: NSTIC winner: Confyrm

Barely two-years-old, Confyrm is making a big impact with a $2.4 million two years pilot project that will demonstrate ways to minimize loss when criminals create fake accounts or take over online accounts. A key barrier to federated identity — where an identity provider “vouches” for an individual at other sites — is the concern that accounts used in identity solutions may not be legitimate, or in the control of their rightful owner. Andrew Nash, founder and CEO of Confyrm, fills Gina Jordan in on some of the details surrounding the pilot.
