1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, announced its platform is now available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—enabling customers to 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 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.”
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, the company said.
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
“We’re pleased to welcome 1Kosmos to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, where customers around the world can easily find, buy, and deploy trusted solutions. The Azure Marketplace gives our partners great exposure to cloud customers and provides customers with solutions that are certified and optimized to run on Azure,” said Jake Zborowski, general manager, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp.
