LexisNexis Risk Solutions acquired RSA’s dynamic knowledge-based authentication technology in a deal that ends a six-year relationship between the two companies.
Atlanta-based LexisNexis said it would integrate the technology into its identity-proofing portfolio for identity management and anti-fraud. Knowledge-based authentication is used by financial services firms, call centers and other companies to verify a person’s identity through a series of questions, which are generated through public databases.
