The KYE gap

Verified once, exploited every day after

Background checks confirm a name at the door, not the person who shows up to work, logs in, or calls the help desk. Without KYE controls, that gap invites DPRK operatives, deepfake candidates, and Scattered Spider attacks.

41% of security leaders

320+ companies

infiltrated by North Korean IT workers in 12 months, up 220% (CrowdStrike, 2025)

The solution

The solution

Verified at hire, proven every day after

Verified at hire, proven every day after

Today's attackers have moved past breaking in. They either get hired, or they call IT asking for a reset. 1Kosmos Workforce closes and locks both doors with one verified identity: a new hire's government ID is matched to a live biometric, and every reset after requires that same face, whether it's a help desk call or self-service.

Between the hire and the reset, typing rhythm, facial presence, and device signals keep watching for a swap, a proxy, or a hijacked session. When something changes, 1Kosmos steps in before an imposter can turn access into an incident.

25

device, network, and threat signals scored in real time per session

3

automated responses when a session drifts: step up, restrict, or end

100%

of session events logged with timestamps and severity tags for audit

How it works

How it works

One verified identity, from application to last day

One verified identity, from application to last day

Follow a new hire through the KYE journey to see exactly what 1Kosmos Workforce verifies at each step.

Step/01

Application

A LiveID at application means a stolen or synthetic identity fails the live biometric match.

Step/01

Application

A LiveID at application means a stolen or synthetic identity fails the live biometric match.

Step/02

Interview

A LiveID check before each round confirms the applicant is on camera, not a proxy or deepfake.

Step/03

Offer

A government ID is matched to the same face, and US work eligibility is confirmed against that identity.

Step/04

Onboarding

The verified identity binds to the HR record and directory account before access is granted.

Step/05

Day 0

New hires sign in passwordless with LiveID or phrase + PIN. No initial password is ever sent.

Step/06

Ongoing & exit

Help desk resets require a LiveID match, and continuous signals flag any swap.

Factor coverage

Assurance that rises with the risk

Not every step needs every factor. 1Kosmos Workforce turns on only what each stage of the KYE journey requires, reaching full assurance at Day 1 registration, while the Intelligence Layer monitors risk across all of them.
