Keyless IDV Bridge Wins Best Multi-Factor Authentication in 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards
London, March 3 2025 – Keyless, the leader in privacy-preserving biometric authentication, has won the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Best Multi-Factor Authentication, recognizing its groundbreaking IDV Bridge feature.
The Keyless IDV Bridge is making strides in the identity industry by seamlessly combining identity verification (IDV) and biometric authentication into a single step. Instead of requiring users to enroll separately with Keyless, the IDV Bridge automatically enrolls them during the standard IDV process when they sign up for an account. This removes the friction that comes with multiple signups while guaranteeing strong authentication from the start.
Solving a Long-Standing Challenge
Traditional cloud-based biometric systems require users to enroll twice—once for IDV (such as KYC/AML checks) and again for biometric authentication. This extra step can increase costs, add complexity, and frustrate users, often leading organizations to choose weaker authentication methods like Face ID, SMS OTPs, or passkeys, which do not prove that the user authenticating is the same person that originally enrolled.
The Keyless IDV Bridge is the first solution to address this issue. By integrating Keyless with an organization's IDV provider, it silently enrolls users into Keyless in the backend during the initial IDV process. This enables organizations to offer the security of cloud-based biometrics from the start of the identity journey without requiring a separate enrollment. Existing users can also be passively onboarded in bulk in the backend.
Key Benefits of the Keyless IDV Bridge
- End-to-End Identity Lifecycle: Combines identity verification and authentication, eliminating weak points like usernames, passwords, or SMS OTPs.
- Future-Proof Scalability: The IDV Bridge is vendor-agnostic, allowing integration with multiple IDV providers to meet diverse customer needs, regardless of size or scope.
- Privacy-Preserving: Minimizes risks associated with storing personally identifiable information (PII) through Keyless’ unique privacy-preserving technology.
- Image-Agnostic: Keyless can leverage images from either the existing IDV provider or a previous biometric authentication provider that the organization was using.
“We congratulate Keyless on this outstanding achievement in the ‘Multi-Factor Authentication’ category of the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards,” said Holger Schulze, founder of Cybersecurity Insiders and organizer of the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. “As we celebrate 10 years of recognizing excellence in cybersecurity, Keyless’ innovation, commitment, and leadership sets a powerful example for the entire industry.”
Winning the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Multi-Factor Authentication highlights Keyless’ continuing innovation in the industry. By eliminating redundant steps and enhancing both security and user experience, the Keyless IDV Bridge sets a new standard for strong, frictionless authentication that protects user privacy.
