Customers Can Now Easily Deploy 1Kosmos to Deliver Passwordless Authentication and Identity Proofing with Built-in Privacy Controls
ISELIN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Blockchain--1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced its platform is now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Microsoft Azure. Customers can now take advantage of the advanced security, privacy, frictionless authentication and scalability of the 1Kosmos platform, with the streamlined deployment and management provided by the Azure Marketplace.
The 1Kosmos platform uses a certified approach to identity verification and passwordless access. It authenticates users by verifying government-issued credentials and matching them to a real-time selfie using advanced biometrics and liveness detection. This approach stops impersonation attacks—including deepfakes and spoofing—and provides high-assurance identity at onboarding and every login. Its decentralized identity wallet and blockchain-based storage protect user privacy and eliminate the risks of centralized honeypots of personal data.
Key features of the platform include:
- Biometric authentication with liveness detection
- Verification of government-issued credentials and digital identity wallets
- Compliance with FIDO2, NIST 800-63-3 IAL2/AAL2, and ISO/IEC standards
- Interoperability with Microsoft Entra ID and other IAM systems
- Built-in support for zero trust and remote onboarding use cases
“The availability of the 1Kosmos platform on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace makes it easier for customers to implement strong identity verification and phishing-resistant authentication at scale,” said Michael Cichon, Chief Marketing Officer of 1Kosmos. “Whether securing workforce onboarding or access, reducing fraud in customer transactions, or protecting government digital services, 1Kosmos enables organizations to verify the person—not just credentials—with strong assurance and minimal user friction.”
