8x8 Launches Verif8 to Bring Simpler, Smarter Security to Every Customer Interaction
New OTP-as-a-Service streamlines authentication across channels – without infrastructure headaches
8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGHT), the industry's most integrated Platform provider for CX that combines Contact Center, Unified Communication, and CPaaS solutions, introduces 8x8 Verif8 – a frictionless, omnichannel One-Time Password (OTP) solution that makes authentication easy, fast, and secure for businesses of any size.
With cyberattacks surging globally – up 44% year-over-year according to Check Point's State of Global Cyber Security 2025 – 8x8 Verif8 helps organizations proactively protect customers without complex infrastructure, high costs, or long development cycles. 8x8's OTP-as-a-Service offering builds trust into every touchpoint with reliable, multi-channel authentication via SMS, voice, and Viber.
