What you’ll learn

• Why higher ed + SLED identity is breaking down — how fraud, phishing, and help desk exploitation all trace back to one root issue: unverified identity.

• How to stop “ghost students” before money moves — how to verify applicants at enrollment so fraudulent and synthetic enrollments never make it past the front door.

• How to close the remote caller verification gap — how biometrics can confirm who’s calling before password resets, account changes, or sensitive updates happen.

• How to eliminate passwords (and the attacks that come with them) — how phishing-resistant, passwordless access reduces credential theft, reuse, and shared-login risk across portals and staff systems.

• Where 1Kosmos fits in your stack — how one platform unifies identity proofing + passwordless authentication across enrollment, access, and recovery workflows.

• The highest-impact use cases for institutions — ghost student prevention, caller verification, passwordless faculty/staff access, and secure account/MFA recovery.

• How to meet compliance without adding friction — what it looks like to align with NIST 800-63 IAL2, FedRAMP High, Kantara CSP, and FIDO2/phishing-resistant MFA requirements.

• How privacy-by-design reduces exposure — how encrypted, verified identity data stored on a private permissioned ledger avoids creating a centralized PII honeypot.

• What outcomes you can expect quickly — measurable reductions in password reset volume and identity-related fraud, plus faster onboarding and verification experiences.
