HYPR, the Identity Assurance Company, announced at Identiverse, the next phase in its market role, unveiling initiatives to deliver phishing-resistant identity assurance across all devices and applications.
Headlining these developments are the “public launches of the HYPR Affirm identity verification solution trial and HYPR’s Workforce Identity Verification Audit.”
Complementing these new offerings, the company is also “forging a key partnership with HID Global to unify physical and digital access through verified identities, creating a cohesive and secure access experience.”
These advancements “accelerate HYPR’s mission to scale FIDO-based authentication, setting a standard for accessible identity security.”
With 95% of organizations encountering “some form of deepfake attack in the past year alone, the imperative for robust identity verification has never been clearer.”
Enterprises and users can now experience the power of HYPR Affirm firsthand.
This self-service tool showcases how HYPR Affirm uses “multi-factor identity checks, including document verification, facial biometrics, and passive liveness detection, to seamlessly and securely verify identities without requiring IT intervention or complex sign-ups.”
First time users can experience the complete verification flow, empowering organizations to ensure “every current employee is indeed a fully verified identity.”
Reflecting its commitment to a “comprehensive identity assurance platform, HYPR has partnered with HID,” a global enabler of trusted identity solutions.
This collaboration delivers a unified solution “integrating physical and digital access control.”
By combining software- and hardware-based FIDO authenticators, including HID Crescendo smart cards, the HYPR and HID integration “enables organizations to deploy one smart credential for every door, device, and application.”
Key benefits of the partnership include:
- Comprehensive Protection, Eliminated Password Fallbacks: Deploy device-bound passkeys across the entire identity stack, protecting sensitive resources and high-security areas while eliminating password fallbacks.
- Simplified Provisioning, Accelerated Productivity: Enable users with simple, self-service provisioning and single-step enrollment for workstations and web access, leveraging identity verification (IDV) to ensure credentials are securely provisioned and recovered. This streamlines onboarding and enhances productivity.
- Centralized Management, Reduced Overhead: Manage both Crescendo Cards and HYPR passkeys through a single console, reducing administrative burden and lowering maintenance costs.
- Converged Access, Streamlined Login: Employees can use their Crescendo Cards for physical access and seamlessly log into corporate systems and applications using HYPR-provisioned FIDO credentials on the same card, or opt for software-based passkeys for flexibility.
- Flexible Deployment, Universal Access: The joint solution caters to diverse use cases, including environments where smartphones are impractical or prohibited, such as call centers and secure facilities, while also supporting convenient software-based authentication via familiar mobile interactions.

“Unifying physical and digital security has long been a critical challenge for enterprises, often leading to fragmented access and security gaps. By combining HYPR’s phishing-resistant FIDO authentication with HID Crescendo smart cards, we’re enabling organizations to truly deploy one smart credential for every door, device, and application. This means comprehensive protection, simplified provisioning, and reduced overhead – fundamentally transforming how users access their world and IT teams manage identities.”
Securing the workforce has become the “ultimate frontline in a world of rapidly evolving cyber threats.”
HYPR is introducing its HYPR Workforce Identity Verification Audit, a precision-engineered, one-and-done solution “designed to audit your workforce in a single sweep, providing a comprehensive, rapid assessment of an organization’s workforce identity.”
This audit acts as a critical spotlight, offering “fast, secure, jargon-free, and real-time insights for high-stakes projects, routine security health checks, and essential compliance needs.”
The service provides end-to-end identity proofing and “targeted deployment for a predefined number of users, automating the verification process to reduce manual effort, and offers robust audit trails and actionable insights for compliance and internal review.”
Ultimately, the HYPR Affirm Audit enhances security posture “by stopping fraud at the source, mitigating identity fraud risks and helping organizations meet stringent compliance requirements and Know Your Employee (KYE) controls.”
