With a concise focus on innovation and improving its existing solutions, the company justifies its ability to penetrate newer markets and win major contracts across the U.S.”

“Biometrics is key to establishing trusted identities, which leads to trusted transactions. Identity verification must ensure safety and security as access is granted to numerous new benefits and services,” said Bob Eckel, CEO of MorphoTrust. “A growing number of government agencies use our solutions and technology for a variety of situations where vetting identities is paramount, from federal, state and local law enforcement to defense and aviation, as well as driver license issuance. We’re honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan for our dedication and leadership in this field.”
