(NASDAQ: AWRE, founded 1986, Burlington, MA) is the pioneering US biometrics software company — it helped the FBI set the WSQ fingerprint standard in 1993 and went public in 1996 — now selling identity verification and multi-modal biometric (face, fingerprint, iris, voice, palm) software to ~80 government agencies and hundreds of commercial customers worldwide. Its flagship Awareness Platform™ (launched 2025) is a SaaS "control plane" orchestrating biometric workflows, liveness detection (anti-deepfake/injection) and matching across multiple vendors, validated by top-tier tests: zero successful attacks in DHS RIVR Track 3, ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 1–3 certification, NIST FATE and FIDO2. Since February 2025 the company has been led by CEO Ajay Amlani (co-founder of CLEAR, ex-DHS/IDEMIA), driving a pivot from a fragmented product portfolio to the platform — including a workforce reduction and a plan to cut opex by $4M/year.
