Verizon Business adds biometrics to cybersecurity solution portfolio

Verizon Business is launching biometrics-backed Verizon Identity among three new security solutions added to its product portfolio to help companies fight cybercrime. The new cybersecurity offerings include Verizon Managed Detection and Response and Verizon Machine State Integrity, and the company has upgraded its Rapid Response Retainer service that provides cyber intelligence and incident response performance from the Verizon Threat Research Advisory Center (VTRAC), the company announced. Verizon Identity (VID) and Verizon Machine State Integrity are the first Verizon Business solutions to use blockchain. Users can implement Verizon ID to securely keep identity credentials on mobile devices so they no longer have to rely on passwords.
