The launch of Microsoft Entra Verified ID into general availability marks a significant step in securing identity handling for critical support purposes. The solution is designed to protect scenarios such as onboarding employees, password and account recovery, and help-desk support. As security risks become more prevalent, organizations can leverage IDEMIA's technology to ensure individuals are who they claim to be, providing a robust defense against fraud and AI-powered threats like sophisticated phishing attacks.

IDEMIA's role as a launch partner is a testament to the reliability of its technology. Matt Cole, CEO of IDEMIA Public Security, shared, "With more than 40 years of experience in identity verification, IDEMIA's identity and verification solutions are proven to be trusted when it counts. With security risks constantly on the rise, and privacy paramount in digitally native environments, our collaboration with Microsoft enables secure authentication with a verified and trusted identity that organizations, including commercial, enterprise, and financial service companies, can rely on."
While IDEMIA Public Security is a trusted provider for over 600 government agencies, this partnership significantly expands its reach into the commercial, enterprise, and financial services sectors.
