PALO ALTO, Calif. — Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered end-to-end identity verification and authentication solutions, today announced it won three Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. Jumio was named the gold winner in the AI security and fastest growing cybersecurity company (1,000-4,999 employees) categories, and the silver winner in the fraud prevention category. The annual award program honors individuals and companies that demonstrate excellence, innovation and leadership in information security.
Jumio was recognized for its record-breaking growth with nearly doubled revenues year-over-year and for Jumio Authentication, an AI-powered video-selfie authentication solution that was first in the market to leverage face-based biometrics for initial identity proofing and ongoing user authentication.

“AI is at the heart of Jumio’s business, and our team is dedicated to leveraging AI to help companies fight fraud,” said Robert Prigge, Jumio CEO. “We’re honored our efforts are validated by explosive company growth and distinguished recognition by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.”
This recognition follows on the heels of a momentous year for Jumio.
