Our mission is to provide individuals with a secure digital identity that provides control of their credentials and enables service providers to use it with consent to fight identity fraud.
After having conversations with industry leading CISOs, former members of the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security, 1Kosmos’ founders realized the notion of knowing who is on the other side of a digital connection was disjointed and weak. Leveraging decades of experience and coming from successful cyber security ventures, the team sought to fill a gap in the market by creating a one-of-a-kind solution that ensures a user is always who they say they are.
1Kosmos is the only solution that combines indisputable digital identity proofing with advanced biometrics and passwordless authentication, while storing user data encrypted in a private, permissioned blockchain. With clients including Hitachi and RSA Security, 1Kosmos products—1Kosmos Verify, 1Kosmos Workforce and 1Kosmos Customer—deliver unmatched security for enterprises and individuals.
At 1Kosmos, the core values that unite us revolve around leadership, collaboration, accountability, passion and diversity. Together, we are committed to sharing the very best of our own selves, so 1Kosmos can continue to disrupt the world of cyber security and change the way we interact with systems and applications. If you relate to our core values, join us in our journey to make an impact in the security and tech space.
