Problem
Traditional authentication methods rely on passwords, SMS one‑time codes, or app‑generated tokens, which are vulnerable to phishing, SIM‑swap attacks, and AI‑driven credential theft. These weaknesses lead to account takeovers, fraud losses, and poor user conversion due to friction.
Solution
Glide Identity offers a passwordless authentication platform that verifies users through their mobile network identity using hardware‑backed cryptography and real‑time network intelligence. By anchoring trust at the SIM and device level, the solution eliminates the need for passwords or SMS codes, removing the attack surface for phishing and SIM‑swap fraud. AI‑driven risk scoring analyzes device health, behavior, and geolocation to detect anomalous activity instantly. The platform integrates with existing identity stacks via APIs and SDKs, providing seamless, frictionless logins that improve conversion while delivering bank‑grade security and compliance with standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
Target Audience
Primary customers include banks, fintechs, e‑commerce platforms, travel marketplaces, healthcare providers, and government digital‑ID programs that require high‑assurance, low‑friction user authentication.
