In order for Alexa to generate value for the user, IoT interactions must be
secured. At Futurae we have the perfect zero-interaction solution.
Conversational interfaces, like Alexa, are a huge potential for businesses
across industries as they enable the next level of human-centric internet.
Through so-called IoT skills, companies can bring bundles of offerings to their
customers allowing a very personal interaction with their users with a voice
assistant.
However, in order to allow banking transactions, obtaining sensitive
information from the latest credit card transactions, ordering goods or
resetting accounts via voice, an authentication mechanism has to be put into
place that ensures the user is authorized to perform a particular operation. It
is a requirement for businesses to know whom they are dealing with when
performing a transaction. Bearing this in mind, security measures that involve
a user interaction (e.g. traditional timed one-time passcodes or SMS codes a
user receives on their mobile phones) are interrupting the seamless
communication between the IoT device and the user and are undermining the core
advantage of those interactions.
Futurae offers an entirely zero-touch authentication for the user, allowing to
leverage the full user experience of the conversational interface while
adequately protecting sensitive user data. Using AI assisted audio components,
Futurae ensures that only an authorized person can order a product, gets access
to a bank account, or can execute a payment.

users get in touch with
