Identity verification and authentication platform

1Kosmos provides a platform for identity verification and authentication, centered on BlockID, which helps organizations verify the identities of users and employees and grant secure access to applications and services. The platform works by offering identity verification and authentication features—supporting passwordless login and biometric options—to manage who can access digital resources. It operates on a subscription-based model, selling to organizations of all sizes (B2B) to help them control access to their apps and data. What sets the company apart is its focus on a cohesive identity verification and authentication solution designed to secure access across multiple services, rather than relying on passwords alone. The goal is to reduce unauthorized access and strengthen overall digital identity management for customers across industries.
