"By verifying a customer through flexible biometrics, rather than relying on passwords like their favorite pizza topping or high school mascot, we have an opportunity to simultaneously fight fraud and customer friction in the contact center."
The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction closed this month and is not expected to have a material financial impact for the current quarter.
