MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 19, 2008 -- Quova, Inc., the leading provider of Internet geolocation services, today announced that it has joined the Oracle Extended Identity Management Ecosystem. As a member of the ecosystem, Quova has integrated its GeoPoint Internet geolocation data product to Oracle® Adaptive Access Manager, an offering within Oracle Identity Management, enabling joint customers to benefit from a unified access management solution for assessing risk and detecting fraud during online transactions.

A comprehensive solution designed to prevent online identity theft and fraud, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager 10g features turnkey risk-based authentication and fraud monitoring features as well as support for financial and retail compliance requirements. The offering helps streamline compliance by providing organizations with comprehensive, integrated authentication and anti-fraud solutions to simplify deployment and strengthen their security through multi-factor authentication and proactive, real-time fraud prevention.

Quova-based risk assessment helps enterprise merchants using Oracle Adaptive Access Manager reduce their cost of fraud by improving detection rates, resulting in fewer false positives.
