San Jose, Calif., Oct. 8, 2015 -- ThreatMetrix®, The Digital Identity Company™, introduces ThreatMetrix® Connect, a new alliance program enabling technology providers to easily integrate services with the ThreatMetrix® Digital Identity Network (The Network). The announcement was made at the ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Prevention Summit 2015, an annual gathering of industry experts, partners, customers and cybersecurity professionals with a shared goal to combat cybercrime.

Through the program, certified technology partners can leverage the power and global scale of The Network to further protect ThreatMetrix customers against account takeover, payment fraud and fraudulent new account registrations. Working together through ThreatMetrix Connect, ThreatMetrix and its expanding alliance ecosystem helps customers lower fraud rates and operational costs, increase revenues, and deliver a frictionless end-user experience.

ThreatMetrix Connect launches with four complementary best-in-class product solutions – with more to follow – organized under the following four categories:

• Secondary Authentication: Telesign, the leader in mobile identity solutions.

• Location and Carrier Services enhanced by: Neustar, Inc., a trusted, neutral provider of real-time information services.

• Identity Verification: Whitepages Pro, an industry leader in identity and lead verification solutions.

• Threat Intelligence enhanced by: Webroot, the market leader in intelligent cybersecurity for endpoints and collective threat intelligence.

Provisioning of all ThreatMetrix Connect services is made possible through the ThreatMetrix Integration Hub, a connection platform for internal and external services that offers an open, scalable way to augment the core ThreatMetrix platform. Prospective alliance services must pass a rigorous configuration, QA and security review before achieving certification by ThreatMetrix. The alliance program and corresponding integration supports ranges from product integration only to full onboarding, provisioning and billing processes for the alliance ecosystem partners.

“Today’s ThreatMetrix Connect announcement is the foundation of our strategy to become the industry authority for verification and authentication services for all types of digital transactions,” said Alisdair Faulkner, chief products officer, ThreatMetrix. “Our vision is to empower ThreatMetrix customers with best-in-class services that will extend the value of ThreatMetrix in our shared effort to stop cybercrime.”
