Identity services platform provider UnboundID and LexisNexis Risk Solutions have teamed up to provide a way to integrate cloud-based identity authentication and verification services. This service will enhance the levels of security and assurance of identity attributes exchanged in real time.

In this system, users of LexisNexis services will connect through the UnboundID identity platform. Then LexisNexis will verify and secure the profile, making sure the customer data is linked to an actual person.

The LexisNexis Identity Verification and Authentication product includes InstantVerify and InstantAuthenticate, two real-time services that ward against the risk of fraud and identity theft as customers log in to the system.

The UnboundID Identity Services Platform connects and unifies identity information across different legacy systems. It securely stores that information and can deliver it to applications and services in real-time.

The combined solution allows companies to use these services through a standard, resusable architecture. The product also secures online transactions, while linking data to a real person.
