WASHINGTON and ATLANTA, Aug. 2,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions Risk Defense
Platform service has been approved by Kantara Initiative as a
Component Service, in compliance with the requirements of
NIST SP 800-63 rev.3 (Technical) Class of Approval, at Identity
Assurance Level 2 (IAL2). Kantara's Trust Mark is provided as part

The Risk Defense Platform (RDP) is a risk-based tool that
performs identification services and defends against fraud threats
to support client systems with onboarding and authentication.
RDP provides client credential service providers (CSPs) with a
single integration point to the RDP tool and allows those clients
to implement and modify risk-based fraud management strategies
based on their business policies or changing market
conditions. RDP supports device binding, document
authentication with portrait match and liveness check,
verification, phone matching with an authoritative source and
one-time passcodes (OTPs).
"Throughout the current pandemic, imposter fraud and attacks at
scale on our government's online systems have become an epidemic of
its own," said Haywood Talcove, CEO
Government, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "Providing equitable digital
identity solutions with the proper level of friction is a key
factor to stop fraud in its tracks, to support the confident
distribution of benefits, and to provide government agencies and
private sector companies alike the power to ensure the overall
integrity of their programs. This important certification from the
Kantara Initiative provides further validation of our Risk Defense
Platform decisioning engine and its power to prevent fraud across a
whole spectrum of government and private sector programs."
"We congratulate LexisNexis on their grant of Kantara Trust Mark
as an Approved Component Service operating at IAL2. We look forward
to their continued leadership in the identity space and
contribution in reducing friction and fraud. Kantara plays a
critical role in providing vendors customers with the confidence
that the identity solutions they are considering have been
certified", said Kay Chopard,
