ISELIN, N.J., June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced the availability of 1Kosmos Workforce on Google Cloud Marketplace, providing customers with a simplified way to deploy high-assurance workforce identity verification and passwordless authentication services on Google Cloud.
Google Cloud Marketplace lets users quickly deploy functional software packages that run on Google Cloud infrastructure, and easily start up familiar software packages with services like Compute Engine or Cloud Storage, with no manual configuration required.
As organizations face increased risks from remote hiring fraud, credential theft, service desk social engineering, and AI-enabled impersonation, 1Kosmos gives security and identity teams a way to bind access to verified identity rather than relying only on credentials.
The availability of 1Kosmos Workforce on the Google Cloud Marketplace streamlines procurement, purchasing, billing, and deployment of high-assurance identity verification and authentication capabilities.
“Google Cloud Marketplace provides customers a faster, more convenient path to deploy 1Kosmos Workforce for high-assurance identity verification and passwordless authentication,” said Mike Engle, Chief Strategy Officer for 1Kosmos. “Workforce identity has become a frontline security issue, with attackers targeting service desks and posing as legitimate job applicants. 1Kosmos helps prevent AI-enabled impersonation fraud and account compromise by verifying the identity of the user rather than relying solely on authentication mechanisms that can be spoofed.”
