IAM leaders are tasked with balancing security and frictionless access in increasingly complex digital environments. Remote, hybrid, and non-employee workforces enable organizations to optimize access to skillsets based on need vs. geographical location. But they’ve also introduced challenges around identity assurance.  Effectively, how to confirm the identities of new and returning workforce at needed inflection points throughout the user’s identity lifecycle in the most efficient and effective way possible.  Vulnerabilities of legacy authentication technologies, like passwords and OTPs, are now well established, leading to the recent OTP phishing campaign that resulted in the $100 million MGM casino breach. But the threat of new generative AI methodologies like deepfakes has exposed organizations to fraud in ways they haven’t anticipated and cannot defend against, such as the deepfake CEO fraud that cost a multinational firm $25m.  Facial biometrics offer a powerful addition to workforce access management. The technology mitigates the risk of modern identity spoofing attacks, is phishing-resistant, and can deliver frictionless workforce experiences.  In this presentation, Andrew Bud, founder and CEO of iProov, explores how science-based face biometrics:

• Confirms workforce identities at remote onboarding with the highest degree of assurance, mitigating employee identity fraud and protecting data security.
• Creates a reusable, trusted digital identity. Workers can use a single credential, their face, for frictionless digital and physical access across every authentication touchpoint.
• Can be utilized as part of an ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) approach, protecting organizations from current and emerging fraud types.
