AuthentiFace, Inc. is a Utah-based AI vision company developing biometric authentication technology. The company has secured a strategic investment from the Utah Innovation Fund.
This AuthentiFace investment marks an important milestone for the company. It will help AuthentiFace expand its identity and access management solutions. Additionally, it will support secure identity verification across digital applications and physical access control systems.
Supporting Technology Commercialization in Utah
The State of Utah established the Utah Innovation Fund to support technology commercialization. The fund supports technologies discovered, advanced, or developed through Utah’s higher-education institutions.
Furthermore, the fund supports promising Utah companies working to transform innovative research into solutions for significant business and security challenges.
Advancing Biometric Authentication
Founded in 2023, AuthentiFace has developed facial authentication technology. The technology combines facial identity with a unique facial motion during verification.
This approach verifies the individual and helps confirm that the authentication attempt is intentional. As a result, AuthentiFace can offer organizations secure and convenient access. The technology does not rely solely on credentials that can be lost, shared, or compromised.
Expanding Identity and Access Management Solutions
“We’re honored to receive this support from the Utah Innovation Fund,” said Dr. D.J. Lee, CEO of AuthentiFace. “This investment is a vote of confidence in our vision to redefine digital security and create accessible, secure authentication for everyone.”
The investment will help AuthentiFace accelerate product development and expand industry partnerships. It will also advance commercialization across identity and access management and physical access control systems.
Additionally, AuthentiFace aims to help organizations manage access across digital applications and physical facilities. This approach creates a more consistent experience for users.
Building the Future of Identity-Based Access
This strategic investment will support AuthentiFace as it continues developing biometric authentication technology. It will also help the company expand its identity and access management solutions.
Ultimately, AuthentiFace remains focused on helping organizations verify the individual requesting access. The company also aims to reduce the risks and friction associated with traditional credentials.
