From the CEO

ID Analytics was formed with the core belief that a networked approach—that is companies working together and sharing information to uncover patterns in behavior beyond what could be accomplished within individual organizations—would be required to truly and effectively combat identity fraud. Thus the ID Network® was launched to enable consortium members to share in a common ecosystem of identity visibility to better manage risk.

Recent market dynamics have led ID Analytics to devise new ways to meet our customers’ shifting risk management needs and further leverage the ID Network. As the amount of information within the ID Network has grown deeper and more diverse, it has enabled ID Analytics to deliver increasingly more accurate identity fraud solutions and also broaden its product portfolio. The result delivers enhancements to our market leading suite of identity risk solutions as well as the successful introduction of innovative credit risk analytics and consumer identity protection solutions.
