In a region where digital fraud poses significant challenges and mobile-first experiences are dominant, Cloud ID and the newly introduced Cloud ID Passkey Connect capability offer an advanced approach to a major market need. Enabling secure, passwordless authentication, this technology addresses demand for a more robust and user-friendly digital identification process, especially in the telecommunications, and media and entertainment sectors. Synacor’s Cloud ID Media Connect offering can save MDI Novare streaming media clients months or even years of authentication integration work required to connect streaming services to various platforms.
