NuData Security CEO Michel Giasson Named One of the Top 100 Influencers in Identity by One World Identity
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB) February 22, 2018 -- NuData Security, a Mastercard Company, announced that its CEO, Michel Giasson, has been honored as one of the 2018 Top 100 Influencers in Identity by One World Identity (OWI), an independent identity strategy and research authority on cybersecurity, digital commerce, and risk management.
Those chosen for the Top 100 are visionary leaders in establishing and verifying trusted digital identity and in advancing the security and quality of transactions and interactions. They were chosen from among entrepreneurs and major organizations around the world, as well as advocates in the public and non-profit sectors.
Giasson is the co-founder of NuData Security and the driving visionary for both the award-winning company’s overall strategy and its day-to-day operations. Over the last 17 years he has led technology and entertainment companies as an advisory board member, director, and CEO. Michel was previously a partner in a major law firm where he founded and led the Technology Group.
Throughout the last decade, Michel has guided NuData in the creation and successful market adoption of innovative passive biometrics and behavioral analytics solutions that transform the way banks, merchants, and other companies digitally interact with customers. Michel and the NuData team are today helping secure the digital landscape and offer an enhanced user experience by enabling organizations to:
- Identify good users and expose unwanted fraudulent traffic at the time of account creation, enabling organizations to proactively prevent fraud before it happens,
- Enhance the customer’s experience while stopping account takeover (ATO) fraud by verifying whether a user is genuine or an imposter, machine, malware or other high-risk entity, and
- Verify customer behavior to make immediate and informed decisions that reduce the friction, while stopping fraud.
NuData was also recently designated Leader in the Innovation category of the 2017 Identity Proofing Platform Awards by Javelin Research and Strategy, continuing its ongoing series of prestigious recognitions awarded to the NuData Security leadership team and its flagship solution, NuDetect.
“The mega breaches and constant stream of news about escalating fraud point to one thing: organizations must adopt a better way to verify users, protect consumers, and preserve their brand integrity and reputation,” said Michel Giasson, Co-founder and CEO of NuData Security, a MasterCard Company, and a Top 100 in Identity honoree. “It’s clear that only solutions that can effectively thwart fraud and abuse while providing refreshingly positive online experience have a role in the future of identity and security, and that the NuData Security team will be safeguarding institutions, organizations, and consumers for a very long time into the future. I thank our unparalleled team and One World Identity for this singular honor.”
