iProov recognized at US Govies Government Security Awards

iProov’s Genuine Presence Assurance technology won Gold in the U.S. Govies Government Security Awards in the category of User Authentication / Identification / Credentialing and Management.

The event, hosted by Security Today magazine since 2009, is designed to recognize and honor outstanding government security products in a variety of categories.

iProov’s face biometrics is used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to enable public sector agencies to make more services available digitally (e.g. enabling individuals to securely apply for benefit programs or renew a driver’s license online).

The company is currently involved in a legal dispute with FaceTec, and recently filed a countersuit against the competitor.

Ping Identity has been named as a ‘Top Workplace of 2022’ by The Denver Post.

The list is compiled annually by the local Denver workforce, rating their employers in seven areas.

These are alignment, coaching, connection, engagement, performance, and ‘the basics,’ which include pay, benefits and training.

“Ping Identity’s amazing employees have allowed us to grow, innovate and thrive during an otherwise challenging time for businesses,” comments the company’s CEO Andre Durand.
