Turin, Italy — 3 November 2026. ToothPic today announced it has been named in the Gartner report “Coolest Vendor Innovations in Identity Management,” published on 2 November 2026 by analysts Brian Guthrie, Akif Khan and Paul Rabinovich.
According to the report, “The ability to rapidly detect and respond to identity-based threats is not just a security imperative — it is a business necessity.” The research further states that “The cool vendors specified here are introducing differentiated IAM capabilities across the modern identity-security stack.”
In our opinion, this recognition serves as a testament to our ongoing commitment to solving complex authentication challenges.
Turning a standard smartphone into an unclonable token
By reconstructing the private key on demand to sign cryptographic authentication challenges, rather than permanently storing vulnerable keys on the phone, this approach transforms any standard smartphone into an unclonable hardware security token.
“We are thrilled to be recognized in this Gartner report,” said Giulio Coluccia, CEO of ToothPic. “In our view, this validates our privacy-preserving architecture, which extracts pixel-level camera sensor noise while discarding all image content, ensuring no actual photo image is processed or stored. We believe our solution uniquely addresses the needs of cybersecurity and compliance leaders by reducing the risk of account takeover — including AI impersonation attacks — and meeting stringent customer authentication regulations like PSD2 SCA.”
