authID Introduces Human Factor Authentication with the Launch of Verified 3.0 to Accelerate Zero Trust Strategies
October 20 2022 - 08:00AM
authid.ai [Nasdaq: AUID], a leading provider of secure
authentication solutions, today announced the launch of Verified
3.0, its next-generation platform that delivers Human Factor
Authentication™ (HFA). authID’s Verified platform binds strong,
“unphishable”, passwordless authentication with biometric identity,
which offers our customers a streamlined path to zero trust
architecture. Verified best-of-breed FIDO2 passwordless
authentication is certified by the FIDO Alliance to
be compliant and interoperable with FIDO specifications.
Legacy multi-factor authentication (MFA) falls short in
protecting against today’s sophisticated social engineering
attacks. More than 82% of data breaches exploit a human element,
such as phishing attacks and credential compromise, in which
cybercriminals rely on passwords and human error to be successful –
costing companies globally an average of $4.4 million per data
breach. Verified HFA closes security gaps for enterprise workforce
and consumer applications by combining passwordless authentication
with biometric certainty to shut down access, privileges, and
lateral movement for unauthorized users.
“Because the world is still largely dependent on passwords and
compromise-prone legacy MFA, cyberattacks that exploit human
behavior and wreak havoc for organizations are all too common in
2022,” said Tom Thimot, CEO of authID. “With the release of
Verified 3.0, authID has pioneered HFA, a human-centric
authentication solution, which addresses cyber risks that exploit
human error. HFA helps businesses disarm hackers and gate critical
resources, while improving workforce productivity and reducing
friction for consumers.”
With Verified 3.0, organizations now have access to a single
platform that eliminates the risks and hassles of using passwords,
while protecting valued systems and corporate assets with strong
identity assurance. Whenever the enterprise needs to authorize user
access to sensitive applications, perform a high-risk activity, or
to add or recover a new device, Verified seamlessly elevates
authentication, with a quick selfie captured in seconds in any
browser, to verify the human behind the device.
“Accessibility and ease-of-use are core components of our
mission to deliver best-in-class cloud authentication solutions to
enterprises globally,” said Jeremiah Mason, authID’s SVP of
Product. “With Human Factor Authentication powered by Verified 3.0,
we can help any organization build zero trust architecture that
best serves their workforce and customers, bound with a biometric
chain of trust.”
Verified 3.0 incorporates feature sets demanded by our customers
for adaptive authentication, that balances speed and ease of use
with enhanced security. Through enhanced support for the OpenID
Connect (OIDC) authentication protocol, Verified 3.0 makes the move
to zero trust easier, offering our customers streamlined access to
the ecosystem of Identity Access Management (IAM), Privileged
Access Management (PAM), and Endpoint Detection and
Response (EDR) providers.
Enhanced User Experience Features of Verified 3.0 include:
- Seamless Passwordless Authentication: FIDO2
certified passwordless authentication allows workforce users and
consumers to log in 100% password-free across any mobile or desktop
device.
- Secure, Portable Account/Device Add &
Recovery: Using their cloud-biometrics, users can now
seamlessly add new devices and recover from a lost device – no need
to call a help desk, and no need to fall back to insecure legacy
MFA.
- 2-Second Selfie
Capture: Verified is certified for iBeta PAD
Level 2 liveness detection. Users no longer need to smile during a
selfie, resulting in captures as quick as 2-seconds.
Enhanced Customer Implementation Experiences of Verified 3.0
include:
- Expanded and Quicker Implementation Options:
Support of OIDC protocols delivers HFA connections with the
identity ecosystem, including IAM, PAM, and EDR providers, as well
as popular cloud applications in under 10 minutes. Customers
continue to enjoy the flexibility to develop custom integrations
using authID APIs.
- Authentication Orchestration Policies:
Verified now includes a new workflow management tool that
streamlines enterprise rollout by eliminating custom workflow
development and offering easy configuration of user onboarding and
authentication rules on a per use-case and/or per identity provider
basis.
- Federated Cloud Identity: Verified offers a
single cloud platform with support for the identity eco-system to
enable federated enterprise access with a single identity across
their tech stack of legacy, SaaS, and cloud
applications.
