News Summary

Calgary-based cybersecurity company TechJutsu has announced the launch of its Caller Verify Universal Connector, a browser extension that integrates multi-factor authentication (MFA) into web applications. Founded in 2015 by CEO Tracey Nyholt, TechJutsu aims to address vulnerabilities in identity and access management, particularly in the face of rising voice-phishing (vishing) attacks. The extension works within Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, supporting various CRM platforms like Salesforce and Microsoft Teams, and enhances security by sending MFA prompts directly to callers’ devices. This innovation is a response to the increasing personal data exposure on social media and aims to provide high assurance verification for service desk agents.
