1Kosmos Receives Two Global InfoSec Awards at 2025 RSA Conference ISELIN, N.J. -- 1Kosmos, a company at the forefront of combining identity proofing and passwordless authentication, has been honored with two prestigious awards at the 2025 RSA Conference (RSAC). Recognized by Cyber Defense Magazine, 1Kosmos received the "Most Innovative Distributed Digital Identity Platform" and "Cutting Edge Passwordless Authentication" awards. These accolades highlight the company's dedication to advancing passwordless security through privacy-focused, identity-verification solutions. “We are thrilled to be recognized for our leadership in distributed identity and passwordless authentication,” said Michael Cichon, Chief Marketing Officer of 1Kosmos. “With identity impersonation increasingly common during hiring and IT support interactions, existing verification methods are falling short and posing significant financial, security, and intellectual property risks. Our platform establishes a high level of trust from the first use onwards, thwarting potential threats from becoming internal risks.” The 1Kosmos platform stands out by integrating identity proofing and passwordless authentication into one cohesive solution. It leverages biometrics and government-issued credentials, incorporating advanced liveness detection to prevent deepfakes, bot attacks, and other spoofing efforts. Unlike traditional methods that rely on passwords or multi-factor authentication (MFA), 1Kosmos ensures the user is genuinely who they claim to be, not just based on what they know or possess. The platform’s decentralized, blockchain-based architecture gives users full control over their personal data, enhancing both privacy and security. It provides a seamless login experience by eliminating the need for passwords and streamlining identity verification processes. Certified to FIDO2, NIST 800-63-3, ISO/IEC 30107-1, ISO/IEC 30107-3, ISO 27001, and SOC2, the platform effectively guards against identity theft, account takeovers, and fraud while maintaining ease of use.
