Converus develops credibility assessment technologies, led by EyeDetect, a non-invasive system that detects deception by analyzing bio-cognitive responses in the eye, including pupil changes, eye movements, blinks, and fixations measured with a precision optical scanner. The company also offers IdentityDetect for rapid identity verification and IntegrityDetect for assessing integrity. Its solutions are used by governments, law enforcement, corrections, counterterrorism, and enterprises for screening job applicants and employees, monitoring ongoing risk, and protecting organizations from corruption and crime. Positioned as a complementary, faster alternative to traditional polygraph testing, Converus emphasizes quick, cost-effective truth verification across pre-employment, ongoing screening, and security-sensitive contexts, including backgrounds, identity, and claims assessment.
