Aware, Inc. Announces AwareID Customer, “A Safer Walk,” to Implement Company’s “Game Changing” Technology to provide Women with more Secure Connections
30 May 2023 - 11:20PM
A new technology is now enabling women to meet each other via an
app and walk together with greater peace of mind. Aware, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AWRE), a leading authentication company applying proven
and trusted adaptive authentication to solve everyday business
challenges with biometrics, is now bringing its adaptive
verification platform, AwareID®, to A Safer Walk, a verified
walk network that connects women with other women so they can
accompany one another in public.
A Safer Walk is a Canadian-based mobility app available for
women to connect with other women for walks, cab rides, or public
transit commutes. The goal of the app is to reduce the stress and
anxiety associated with the risk of gender-based violence that may
occur when women are alone. AwareID is integrated within the app to
provide identity verification for members when they sign up.
“When it comes to ensuring everyone feels safe and secure in
their daily routine, Aware’s convenient onboarding and verification
technology can make that happen,” says Craig Herman, chief revenue
officer at Aware. “We are impressed with A Safer Walk’s mission and
delighted to be able to support them with our biometric
verification technology to further the organization’s success.”
“Recent data has shown that violence against women is on the
rise in Canada, which is contributing to an increased fear and
anxiety women feel when they are walking, running or using public
transit by themselves,” says Trevor MacDonald, founder of A Safer
Walk. “Our ability to implement Aware’s mobile onboarding and
verification technology is a game changer and allows us to ensure
genuine connections amongst local women looking for safe and secure
options.”
A Safer Walk is currently being piloted in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada and will be looking to expand across North America in
2023.
