1Kosmos has announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft to enhance the security of Entra ID environments through advanced external authentication methods. This integration empowers enterprises to unify identity verification and passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA) across both Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications, improving overall security and user experience.
By integrating 1Kosmos’ platform with Microsoft Entra ID, businesses can simplify user onboarding and streamline account management. Through an easy-to-use, self-service identity verification workflow, users can quickly reset passwords or complete onboarding processes using QR codes or smart links, alleviating pressure on service desks.
Rohan Pinto, CTO of 1Kosmos, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, “Microsoft Entra ID is a powerful identity platform, but support for non-Microsoft applications, legacy systems, and hybrid environments can be challenging. The 1Kosmos platform supplements Entra ID with an external authentication infrastructure that spans both modern and legacy systems, enforces high-assurance identity proofing, and delivers secure, frictionless access to all enterprise applications—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments.”

This integration offers numerous benefits, including phishing-resistant passwordless MFA, enhanced user experience through biometric-based access, and streamlined compliance with high-assurance identity proofing processes. Additionally, organizations can implement flexible conditional access policies tailored to asset sensitivity.
With these enhanced capabilities, enterprises using Microsoft Entra ID can deploy 1Kosmos’ solutions to fortify security, simplify authentication, and reduce fraud risks. This integration is particularly valuable for businesses prioritizing Zero Trust security frameworks and robust identity governance.
The 1Kosmos platform with Entra ID integration is now available, enabling organizations worldwide to improve their security posture while enhancing authentication processes across all environments.
