Um, A- AJ, for, uh, for those who may be, uh, joining us for the very first time, give us, uh, the nickel version or the, the 30,000-foot view of what you and Aware are doing.

Sure.

Absolutely.

Yeah, so we're pioneering biometric authentication, and, um, we use biometrics basically across the board, whether it's fingerprint, face matching, iris re- iris matching.

We'll actually blend a l- few different providers together into our awareness platform that gives, uh, all companies, whether they're in the commercial sector or the government sector, so things like financial services organizations that wanna try to launch biometric solutions and actually have a face there to authenticate as opposed to passwords and other things like that that are really easy to share and, and easy to lose and forget.

Uh, you can actually just use your face as basically your back end identifier.

And what we do is we pioneer great liveness technology as well beyond that, which w- verifies that they're a live human being in front of the camera, as opposed to a deep fake, which obviously AI is basically creating at will, and you're able to impersonate anybody that you want online.

As, as far as your technology is concerned and, and how fast you're developing it, and obviously putting it to good use not only for, you know, public companies, private companies, but also the United States government, how much are the nefarious actors trying to keep up with your pace?

Talk about the, the, the merging of bio- the state of biometric, uh, security and this age of AI fraud.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, I, I have a friend of mine who's actually, um, head of the Florida Bankers Association, and she was just talking to me about how June or July is actually gonna be, um, you know, protect, uh, the elderly month in terms of being able to protect them from all of the types of, uh, identity attacks that are happening to them.

And Florida is actually the biggest attacked state, believe it or not, because of the fact that, uh, that you have a lot of retirees that are falling for these different types of scams really quickly.

Um, the interesting part about biometrics is it works equally across all different ages.

It works, uh, equally all across all different genders and all different skin types and all different socioeconomic groups.

And so, uh, the great thing about it is it actually can help to serve to protect the elderly as well as, um, you know, others, uh, equally well, and very convenient also.

You gotta be on defense and on aggressive at, at the same time, correct?
