How Claveo Works


Claveo can easily authorize any transaction. Be it logging in to a website, transferring money, or accessing a corporate VPN, without access to both your password (or account number, PIN, etc.) and your mobile phone, an attacker cannot compromise your account. And because Claveo is a cloud-based solution that lives on your mobile device, it can authorize transactions competing technology cannot. While at lunch you could easily authorize a payment out of your bank account—and meanwhile prevent anyone not authorized from making one.

Before Claveo, anybody could transfer money out of your bank account by only knowing your account number and routing number. Now your money is protected with Claveo on your mobile device.

Claveo's Risk Mitigation Architecture: Keeping You Secure


When providing a cloud-based security product to our customers, a question often asked is: Are our users vulnerable if you get hacked? The answer: Absolutely not. You remain secure. Learning from our competitors' mistakes, we realize that by running servers which manage a global security system we are inevitably at risk of attack. Therefore we designed our security protocol to distribute sensitive information across the Claveo Mobile clients, thus unlike with our competitors' technology, a successful global attack against Claveo is next to impossible. For example, in a recent intrusion attackers broke into corporate networks using information stolen from one of our major competitors’ servers. On our servers there is nothing to steal. It's akin to having a secured vault with no money inside—even if you break in, nothing is lost.
