Hidden layers boost AI security, Zighra CEO says The best security measures are the ones you don’t see, Deepak Dutt believes. Mr. Dutt is the co-founder and CEO of Zighra, a provider of AI-powered continuous authentication and fraud detection services which incorporate several different security layers to protect devices. Deepak Dutt Zighra’s story began in 2009 when Mr. Dutt and his partners approached academics at the University of Waterloo with the idea to bring together techniques including artificial intelligence, behavioural biometrics and sensory analytics to ensure the appropriate person is behind every transaction or using every device. Six years and 14 pending patents later Zighra, which is Sanskrit for fast, emerged from academia to authenticate users based on habits and patterns on their devices such as how they hold the device, the angle they hold it at, and how much pressure they put on touchscreens.
