iProov, the world’s provider of “science-based” biometric identity verification solutions, announced a partnership with HYPR, which is the enabler of identity assurance. This delivers a layered defense against one of the most critical organizational security problems: the infiltration of “enterprise systems by fraudulent workers, sophisticated synthetic identities, and hyper-realistic deepfakes throughout the identity lifecycle.”
The solution integrates iProov’s liveness tech into HYPR’s Affirm platform via OIDC.
This establishes “a zero-trust defense layer at the initial access point, ensuring the user is verified.”
Securing workforce access is an increasingly urgent challenge “as criminals and nation-states alike adopt sophisticated impersonation attacks.”
The most severe threats now target identity fraud at onboarding, exemplified by the recent case involving “more than 300 U.S. companies infiltrated by North Korean operatives.”
This workforce identity fraud operation generated an estimated $17 million for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) regime, “directly funding programs that threaten U.S. national security and exposing a critical, widespread vulnerability in enterprise defenses.”
To combat the threat of AI-driven deepfake technology and synthetic media, genuine liveness assurance is “no longer optional—it is the foundational defense.”
Consequently, the iProov integration is positioned as the first step in the user onboarding journey “within the HYPR Affirm platform, providing mitigation against this pervasive risk.”
Benefits Of The Solution:
- Definitive Secure Onboarding: The solution is specifically designed to stop fake workers from onboarding into the workforce. iProov ensures the right person, a genuine human, is registering, eliminating the initial attack vector and mitigating major identity threats at the earliest step.
- Credential Attack Prevention: The integration protects against weaknesses in account recovery and stops credential reset attacks in their tracks.
- Assurance and Compliance: iProov uses its certified liveness check to confirm that the person is not only the right person but also the real person, authenticating in real-time. Its defense has been tested to meet the standards of the US government’s NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, providing auditable proof that onboarding is protected against deepfakes and fraudulent employees.
