Validize allows Manage Service Providers (MSPs) and internal IT Service Desks to verify the identity of users and allows users to verify the Technician in the same instance. This is a vital security feature that is becoming ever more necessary as the cases of scams, impersonations, and attacks are on the rise. With Validize, you get a unique multiway validation that allows you to feel confident in any exchange and all communication. There are constant requests to reset passwords, unlock accounts, gain privileged access, and more. Validize assures you that your users and the technicians are who they claim to be. Make it even more simple and secure by utilizing Validize’s push capability. Validize allows you to verify the identity of any individual you interact with. By requiring a simple code from another person, you can prevent anyone from taking advantage of your trust. If the code is successfully Validized then you get a rapid prompt that allows you to proceed with confidence that you are interacting with an authentic individual. If the code does not match with the assuming individual, then you can immediately end all correspondence. Never be scammed again! It is the mission of Validize to increase trust and confidence in a vulnerable world by protecting and preserving the identity of individuals and organizations.
