Lombardo said Salmat VeCommerce was selected by Aviva due to its “proven track record in delivering speech recognition and voice biometric applications.”

“They demonstrated a depth of experience and expertise, working with a large customer base, in this specialised field.”
 
According to Lombardo, in the recently published 2009 Salmat VeCommerce identity verification study, more 50 percent of respondents believed that someone could guess their PINs, passwords or other security details, while 59 percent stated they believed someone else actually knew these details.
 
“An alarming 37% of respondents had either experienced identity fraud or theft or had a friend or family member that had fallen victim to these crimes,” Lombardo added.

Lombardo said the sale and delivery of the VeSecure application to Aviva was led by NEC, Aviva’s existing solution provider, and under the agreement NEC would also provide first level support.
