NEW YORK, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HYPR, the Identity Assurance Company, today announced at Identiverse, the next phase in its market leadership, unveiling strategic initiatives to deliver comprehensive, phishing-resistant identity assurance across all devices and applications. Headlining these developments are the public launches of the free HYPR Affirm identity verification solution trial and HYPR's new Workforce Identity Verification Audit. Complementing these new offerings, the company is also forging a key partnership with HID Global to unify physical and digital access through verified identities, creating a cohesive and secure access experience. These strategic advancements collectively accelerate HYPR's mission to scale FIDO-based authentication, setting a new standard for accessible identity security.
Interactive Preview Unveils Seamless Identity Verification
With 95% of organizations encountering some form of deepfake attack in the past year alone, the imperative for robust identity verification has never been clearer. Enterprises and users can now experience the power of HYPR Affirm firsthand with free, interactive access publicly available on the HYPR website. This self-service tool showcases how HYPR Affirm uses multi-factor identity checks, including document verification, facial biometrics, and passive liveness detection, to seamlessly and securely verify identities without requiring IT intervention or complex sign-ups. First time users can experience the complete verification flow, empowering organizations to ensure every current employee is indeed a fully verified identity.
Unified Physical and Digital Security with HID Global
Reflecting its commitment to a comprehensive identity assurance platform, HYPR has partnered with HID, a global leader in trusted identity solutions. This collaboration delivers a unified solution integrating physical and digital access control. By combining software- and hardware-based FIDO authenticators, including HID Crescendo® smart cards, the HYPR and HID integration enables organizations to deploy one smart credential for every door, device, and application. Key benefits of the partnership include:
'Unifying physical and digital security has long been a critical challenge for enterprises, often leading to fragmented access and security gaps,' said Sean Dyon, VP of Authentication Business Unit at HID. 'By combining HYPR's phishing-resistant FIDO authentication with HID Crescendo smart cards, we're enabling organizations to truly deploy one smart credential for every door, device, and application. This means comprehensive protection, simplified provisioning, and reduced overhead – fundamentally transforming how users access their world and IT teams manage identities.'
Assured Workforce Identity with HYPR Affirm Audit
Securing the workforce has become the ultimate frontline in a world of rapidly evolving cyber threats. HYPR is introducing its HYPR Workforce Identity Verification Audit, a precision-engineered, one-and-done solution designed to audit your workforce in a single sweep, providing a comprehensive, rapid assessment of an organization's workforce identity. This audit acts as a critical spotlight, offering fast, secure, jargon-free, and real-time insights for high-stakes projects, routine security health checks, and essential compliance needs.
The service provides end-to-end identity proofing and targeted deployment for a predefined number of users, automating the verification process to reduce manual effort, and offers robust audit trails and actionable insights for compliance and internal review. Ultimately, the HYPR Affirm Audit enhances security posture by stopping fraud at the source, mitigating identity fraud risks and helping organizations meet stringent compliance requirements and Know Your Employee (KYE) controls.
'Today marks a pivotal moment in our mission to secure every digital identity,' says Bojan Simic, CEO of HYPR. 'We're committed to making best-in-class identity assurance accessible and user-friendly, and today's announcements underscore that promise. The public launch of free HYPR Affirm and the Workforce Audit, combined with our strategic partnership with HID Global, fundamentally elevates enterprise security. We're not just accelerating the adoption of FIDO-based authentication; we're making it universally accessible, simple, and comprehensive across every facet of a user's journey – from physical entry to critical digital access. Identity is the new perimeter, and we are dedicated to helping our customers secure it.'
