Nuance Communications has once again been recognized as a top biometrics vendor by Opus Research in the Intelligent Authentication and Fraud Prevention Intelliview Report, the company announced.

Nuance’s integrated biometric security products are ranked high up in the Leader quadrant, ahead of competitors, confirming the company’s excellence in authentication and fraud prevention technology. Nuance boasts a portfolio of over 600 million voiceprints, $2 billion in fraud savings in 2019 and 8 billion transactions a year.

“It’s an honor to be recognized once again by Opus Research for the sophistication and robustness of our biometric solutions, and I’m exceptionally proud of the team for continually advancing our state-of-the-art solutions,” Brett Beranek, General Manager and Vice President, Nuance, said in a prepared statement. “It’s encouraging to see the industry recognize the importance of having solutions that offer flexibility of integration and channel, as well as the winning combination of fraud prevention and authentication. This aligns with the strategy Nuance set out to drive forward years ago and our placement as the leader in this report is a testament to that effort.”

Opus Research evaluated technology from 20 top vendors and their capabilities, including fraud detection, integrations, and business processes that span friction-free authentication. The research group analyzes “Intelligent Authentication” (IAuth), defined as systems that have progressed from voice-based authentication to include biometric factors (facial, fingerprint, behavioral), fraud detection, digital orchestration, and continuous authentication.

Nuance is recognized for its integrated authentication and fraud prevention product across digital and voice channels, as well as for its rates in authentication and fraud prevention.
