At Nametag, our mission is to protect peoples’ accounts, guard their personal information, and foster trust in online interactions. Today, in furtherance of that mission, we’re excited to announce our membership in IDPro, a vibrant community of identity professionals. For us, supporting IDPro is about empowering the dedicated people who are on the front lines of identity security, solving some of the most complex challenges in modern digital identity. Check out the press release or read on to learn more about IDPro and why we believe so strongly in this community.
"I co-founded IDPro to help front-line security practitioners move beyond traditional approaches to user authentication. The advent of robust identity verification technology, particularly Nametag's Deepfake Defense engine, represents a turning-point in the fight against identity fraud. Nametag's support of IDPro will provide a valuable resource for members exploring how they can leverage this powerful technology." – Sarah Cecchetti, Co-founder of IDPro and Head of Product Strategy at Beyond Identity
The Future of Fraud Prevention is Built on Collaboration
In this context, IDPro gives security and identity pros a critical and much-needed venue to share best practices, insights, and knowledge. The IDPro Body of Knowledge (BoK) is a foundational knowledgebase of continually-updated articles and research papers, written by IDPro members. Topics include IAM Architecture and Solutions; Standards, Regulations and Laws; Workforce IAM; Digital Identity; and many more. The Certified Identity Professional (CIDPRO®) program, governed by IDPro, is a widely respected, rigorous, vendor-neutral assessment of essential IAM industry skills. CIDPro gives both professionals and their employers a standardized method for assessing the skills and knowledge of IAM practitioners.
“Staying ahead of today’s adversaries isn’t just about stronger technology solutions, it’s about stronger collaboration. That’s why IDPro is so important: it gives identity pros a space to share what works, challenge assumptions, and raise the bar for everyone. Nametag has consistently shown up with the kind of thoughtful innovation and information sharing that characterizes the IDPro community. I'm excited to see Nametag supporting IDPro and look forward to continued collaboration with their team.” – Dean Saxe, Active IDPro Member, Co-Chair of the FIDO Alliance Enterprise Deployment Working Group & Co-Chair of the IPSIE Working Group at the OpenID Foundation
The Future of Digital Identity is Built on Trust
Every human interaction is founded on trust. But generative AI, deepfakes, and nation state-backed infiltration campaigns are breaking that trust as we speak. As attackers find new ways to bypass or exploit traditional user authentication factors, identity verification (IDV) is increasingly being recognized as a critical foundation for establishing trust in digital interactions.
At first, IDV was primarily used for consumer use cases, such as Know Your Customer (KYC) regulatory compliance when opening a bank account. Then, Nametag pioneered the idea of using a more advanced, security-first identity verification technology in workforce (employee) scenarios like credential enrollment and recovery. Most recently, we combined our industry-leading Deepfake Defense™ IDV engine with India’s national digital ID system, Aadhaar, to deliver an industry-first capability: document-free identity verification backed by Deepfake Defense assurance.
As identity verification and digital identity intertwine, we believe it’s critical that front-line identity professionals and security practitioners take a central role in the development of these systems. IDPro is a passionate community of experts who are setting the standards and creating frameworks that will define the next generation of digital identity systems. And we’re thrilled to be a part of those conversations.
