Company Named Best Consumer Digital Banking Solutions Provider and Best ID Verification, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Passwordless Solution
August 3: 1Kosmos, the only company that unifies identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced it has been named 'Best Consumer Digital Banking Solutions Provider' in the 2022 Banking Tech Awards and won three Global InfoSec Awards at RSA Conference 2022, including 'Best Product ID Verification, Most Comprehensive Multi-Factor Authentication and Cutting Edge Passwordless Authentication.'
The Banking Tech Awards recognized 1Kosmos BlockID as a digital channels solution that facilitates meaningful change to how a bank operates, builds products, and delivers services, bringing clear and measurable improvements to the organization and customer experience.
"1Kosmos being named the Best Consumer Digital Banking Solutions Provider illustrates the importance of identity verification, not just authentication, in online banking today," said Hemen Vimadalal, CEO of 1Kosmos. "The ability of BlockID to perform identity verification instead of just relying on an authentication method like a username/password or one-time password enables financial institutions to offer advanced services because they can prevent account compromise and fraud."
According to a recent report, India's data centers captured over 51 million cyber-attacks over their networks from April -December 2021. Commenting on mitigating the future of such attacks on real networks, Hemen said, "Now, more than ever, identity has become the security perimeter, especially in the cloud. 1Kosmos eliminates the security gap that attackers most commonly exploit, the disconnect between verified identity and authentication, to make secure passwordless access possible."
Siddharth Gandhi, COO APAC, said, "We have recently gone live with Sim binding along with next-gen MFA for a large Indian bank, and now with these recognitions, we reaffirmed our offerings and presence in the BFSI. These are an exciting time for 1Kosmos in India!"
1Kosmos also received three awards from Cyber Defense Magazine, the industry's leading electronic information security magazine, for Best Product ID Verification, Most Comprehensive Multi-Factor Authentication, and Cutting Edge Passwordless Authentication. Winners were selected by a panel of security professionals who conducted an independent review of each submission.
