1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, has launched a native integration with the ServiceNow AI Platform. Available now in the ServiceNow Store, this solution embeds high-assurance identity verification directly into ServiceNow workflows, enabling secure IT help desk recovery, account resets, and sensitive change requests while preventing social engineering and account takeover attacks.

  • 1Kosmos integrates high-assurance identity verification natively into ServiceNow AI Platform workflows.
  • Addresses vulnerabilities in IT help desks, onboarding, password resets, and privileged change requests.
  • Combines government-issued ID verification, biometrics, and cryptographic checks for strong, passwordless re-verification.
  • Supports one-time proofing with low-friction step-up authentication at points of risk—no tool-switching for agents.
  • Reduces reliance on weak methods like knowledge-based questions or OTPs for high-risk interactions.
  • Available immediately via ServiceNow Store as part of 1Kosmos' Build Partner status.

IT help desks remain a prime target for social engineering, where attackers exploit manual or weak identity checks to gain initial access, escalate privileges, and execute account takeovers. This integration empowers organizations to enforce strong verification at the exact moment of risk—inside existing ServiceNow processes—without slowing response times or disrupting agent productivity.

Seamless, Native Verification in ServiceNow Workflows

As a ServiceNow Build Partner, 1Kosmos delivers identity assurance directly within the platform. Agents or automated workflows can trigger verification for high-risk actions, ensuring consistent protection across:

  • IT help desk password resets and account recovery
  • Onboarding and contractor access provisioning
  • HR/finance requests involving sensitive data (e.g., SSN or payroll changes)
  • Privileged change control and configuration approvals

The solution uses government-issued document verification, biometric authentication, and cryptographic validation to confirm identity reliably. After initial proofing, re-verification is fast and frictionless, supporting passwordless access and maintaining privacy without re-enrollment.

“Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between security and productivity at the service desk,” said Huzefa Olia, COO of 1Kosmos. “By embedding high-assurance identity verification directly into ServiceNow workflows, customers can stop social engineering threats at the point of attack while preserving the speed and efficiency their teams depend on.”

Strengthening Zero-Trust and Reducing Attack Surface

By replacing vulnerable knowledge-based authentication and one-time codes with high-assurance methods, the integration significantly reduces the risk of impersonation and downstream compromise. It aligns with zero-trust principles by continuously validating identity at critical junctures, helping organizations meet compliance requirements while improving overall security posture.

The 1Kosmos-ServiceNow integration is available now through the ServiceNow Store. This launch reinforces 1Kosmos’ focus on unifying identity proofing, strong authentication, and frictionless user experiences to prevent fraud and account takeover across enterprise environments.
