31.5.2019 15:02:03 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
BehavioSec, the first vendor to pioneer behavioral biometrics, is attending Money20/20 Europe on June 3-5, 2019 in Amsterdam, Netherlands at the Amsterdam RAI. Money20/20 focuses on the mission of creating a simpler, fairer, faster and more inclusive financial system for individuals, businesses and society as a whole, bringing together more than 350 speakers to deliver the next frontier of Financial Services. BehavioSec CEO Neil Costigan will join the panel discussion, “The Changing Nature of Attacks and Attackers,” where he will discuss cybersecurity and risk management in an age where online commerce and trust are threatened by cybercrime threats continually bypassing traditional password authentication and anti-fraud measures.
Money20/20 attendees can visit BehavioSec at booth H92 throughout the event. BehavioSec will meet with customers and industry partners, brief media and analysts and present demos of the company’s Behavioral Biometrics Software Platform . Already in use with some of the biggest global brands in FinTech and financial services, BehavioSec’s software provides continuous online authentication of account holders by analyzing their unique physical behaviors, like typing patterns, cursor movements and touchscreen inputs.
“Traditional, one-time authentication measures like thumbprints and passwords can no longer protect and enable digital transformation in the financial services sector,” said Costigan. “With today’s constantly evolving attacks bypassing even once reliable multi-factor authentication methods, financial service organizations must find new ways to prevent fraud and cyber attacks without slowing down usability and functionality. Presenting at Money20/20 gives us the opportunity to show the success of behavioral biometrics in combating account takeover fraud in this new threat landscape.”

Ant International Research Highlights How Readable AI Memories Can Unlock More Personalised, Privacy-conscious Consumer Experiences2.11.2026 09:52:00 CET | Press release
Human sales and customer representatives have institutional memories to serve clients: their preferences and choices. How can we build a memory mechanism for AI services to create similarly personalised experiences? Ant International’s research on this subject recently received the Senior Area Chair (SAC) Highlight Award from the Best Paper Committee at EMNLP 2026, a leading global AI conference. Why do we need “readable AI memory”? In this paper titled 'Text as a universal interface for transferable personalisation', we look into one fact: until now, AI memory of a user has usually been generated and stored as dense numerical code only the original system can interpret. Two long-standing problems with that: First, today's user profiles are "black boxes" — opaque code locked inside a single app, so activity in one service teaches nothing to another, and every product has to re-learn you from scratch. Second, profiles are welded to the model that created them, so they don't transfer whe
