By joining forces with Nok Nok, OneSpan is driving the industry towards a more secure future, enabling customers to adopt a wide range of flexible, future-proof authentication options.

Combined with OneSpan's recently launched FIDO2 security keys, this strategic acquisition enables the Company to provide customers worldwide with the industry's most innovative, comprehensive, and future-ready authentication portfolio. Whether on-premises or in the cloud, OTP or FIDO, software or hardware—including Digipass, FIDO2 protocols, and Cronto solutions for transaction signing—OneSpan now offers customers maximum flexibility to meet their authentication needs.

"This is more than an acquisition — it's a bold step toward providing customers with maximum choice in authentication," said Victor Limongelli, CEO at OneSpan. "We're evolving our entire authentication platform to include FIDO standards because we believe passwordless is an important part of the future. With Nok Nok's world-class technology and FIDO expertise, we now offer the most comprehensive and versatile customer authentication solution on the market."

As a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, Nok Nok has been at the forefront of advancing passwordless authentication standards globally. With a customer base spanning the US, Asia, and Europe, Nok Nok delivers robust, standards-based security solutions trusted by leading enterprises. The company's strong authentication platform ensures seamless integration and scalability, supporting UAF and FIDO2 protocols to meet diverse regulatory and business requirements. Nok Nok leads the industry with innovative solutions that simplify secure user experiences across digital channels.

"Joining OneSpan marks an exciting new chapter for our team and our technology," said Phillip Dunkelberger, President & CEO at Nok Nok. "We've always believed that open standards like FIDO are an important part of the future of authentication, and with OneSpan's global reach and innovation engine, we're now poised to bring our vision to an even broader audience."

"This is an exciting combination for the FIDO Alliance and the authentication market in general," said Andrew Shikiar, Executive Director & CEO of the FIDO Alliance. "Nok Nok has been a trailblazer in the FIDO ecosystem, and we're thrilled to see their innovation carried forward through OneSpan's global reach and resources."

With this acquisition, OneSpan plans to integrate the strengths of both companies into a unified, more powerful portfolio that delivers greater value to banking and enterprise customers.
