    I sat down with TechNadu this week to talk about synthetic identities and the collapse of traditional identity proofing. The threat has changed. Attackers aren't just stealing credentials; they're manufacturing entire identities. AI-generated documents, deepfake video, synthetic backgrounds. A fake candidate can clear a remote interview and land admin access to your critical systems. Three things that matter: 1. Verify early, verify securely - Stop treating high-risk hires like checkbox exercises 2. Account recovery is the new front door - Help desk calls shouldn't hand over the keys 3. Continuous beats one-and-done - Identity can't be a snapshot anymore If you don't get identity right at the beginning, your entire kill chain starts with an impersonator.

  • Our CTO breaks down why we’re finally entering the post-password era and what it means for security, usability, and the future of authentication. His Forbes article is a great look at how passkeys, strong identity proofing, and better standards are reshaping how we protect people and data. Worth a read if you’re tracking where authentication is headed next. #Cybersecurity #Passwordless #IdentityVerification #DigitalIdentity

    🎉It's #PasskeysWeek!!! To quote a wise woman, isn't every week Passkey Week?!?! Yes! Because we are here to kill those pesky passwords. 🙂 At 1Kosmos we've been big supporters of passkeys, verifiable credentials, and how they can transform high-risk onboarding and access management. If you’ve been thinking about going passwordless, we have plenty of resources to bring you up to speed and keep you in the loop.

    I'm thrilled to be representing 1Kosmos at the Gartner IAM Conference this year, where I'll be moderating an expert panel with identity leaders from some of the world's most recognized brands. Every week, I hear stories about hiring fraud, deepfake interviews, and account takeovers that start with nothing more than a convincing phone call. The common thread: You can't verify who you're really dealing with. I'll be joined by leaders from VF Corporation, Marriott Hotels, Lowe's Companies, Inc., and The Walt Disney Company to break down: - Why synthetic identities are getting harder to spot - Where social engineering is outpacing traditional IAM - How teams are rethinking workforce and consumer onboarding, both remote and in-person If you're feeling the pressure from impersonation attempts, overwhelmed help desks, or identity gaps during onboarding, you'll walk away with actionable strategies to address them. Join me, Bashira Baset, Ranjan Jain, Jim Collins - CFI - LPC, and Sean O'Dell in Dallas for our session: - December 9th - 1:00 PM CST Hope to see you there! If you won't be attending the event, I'll add a link in the comments to sign up for a recap email from me afterwards.
