Enterprises across the globe are facing new cybersecurity risks with the shift to remote, decentralized workforces. With more than 80% of digital breaches caused by stolen or hacked passwords, a growing frequency of phishing scams aimed at remote workers, and increasing target-based credential stuffing cyberattacks, the need for strong identity assurance has taken on a whole new urgency.  To meet this demand, Verified utilizes privacy first, facial biometric MFA that replaces vulnerable one-time passwords, and defends enterprise platforms, data, and assets against known tactics like phishing, account takeovers, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Upon login with Microsoft credentials, Verified analyzes a user-captured selfie in real-time to ensure its really them, and not an imposter presenting an image of the user. At the same time, Verified securely binds that authentication session to a device, creating the perfect combination of ‘something you are’ and ‘something you have’ factors. Verified’s strong MFA safeguards the enterprise against today’s common cybersecurity threats, while reducing the hassle and costs of deploying cumbersome, legacy authentication hardware. With a secure and portable authentication user experience that meets the demands of today’s ‘always on’ remote workforce, Verified helps organizations meet their security and compliance needs for Zero-Trust Network access, while curtailing potential loss of enterprise assets and reputation.
