work with in today's fast-moving financial technology landscape,"
said Sallie Krawcheck. "For
me, a company's mission and its commitment to inclusion are as, if
not more, important than technology-fit and revenue growth.
BioCatch prioritizes all of these in its mission to protect banks
and their customers from digital fraud and financial crime.
I'm looking forward to working closely with Gadi, his team and my
fellow board members in BioCatch's mission to fight fraud and stop
the financial crimes that threaten consumers' personal security and
peace of mind."
"As a long time cyber security practitioner and executive it is
clear to me that we as humans may very well hold the key to our own
safety and security online," said Liat
Nadai Arad. "Our behavior is unique, no one of us is
the same, and the nuances in how we interact with technology makes
us one of a kind. BioCatch's data science in the area of
behavioral biometric intelligence is truly next-generational and
offers banks, and their customers, the power to improve online
identity authentication, strengthen transactional security, and
streamline their experience all by simply being themselves.
