New OTP-as-a-Service streamlines authentication across channels – without infrastructure headaches

CAMPBELL, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun. 24, 2025– 8×8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), the industry’s most integrated Platform provider for CX that combines Contact Center, Unified Communication, and CPaaS solutions, introduces 8×8 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 – 8×8 Verif8 helps organizations proactively protect customers without complex infrastructure, high costs, or long development cycles. 8×8’s OTP-as-a-Service offering builds trust into every touchpoint with reliable, multi-channel authentication via SMS, voice, and Viber.

Why It Matters Now

Industries such as education and healthcare are facing record-high attack rates, up 75% and 47% respectively in the past year, according to Check Point. 8×8 Verif8 gives these sectors – and others – a smarter, faster path to protection: One platform. One integration. One less thing to worry about.

“Security is no longer a back-end concern – it’s a frontline experience,” said Igor Mostovoy, Product Director, CPaaS at 8×8, Inc. “With 8×8 Verif8, we’re giving businesses a faster, easier way to protect customers and reduce fraud – without heavy lift or added cost.”
