As a modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) platform, Beyond Identity delivers high assurance defenses against identity- and device-based threats with their phishing-resistant MFA, device trust, and SSO solutions. Threat actors, however, continue to evolve. Today, organizations face everything from simple password compromise to sophisticated AI-powered impersonation targeting end-users and IT administrators. According to Crowdstrike’s 2025 Global Threat Report, “Adversaries increasingly adopted genAI [generative AI] throughout 2024, particularly in support of social engineering efforts and high-tempo IO [intelligence operations] campaigns.”
Traditional authentication practices are no longer sufficient to protect sensitive accounts and systems against today’s bad actors. The partnership between Beyond Identity and Nametag reflects the belief that successfully eliminating genAI social engineering and account takeovers requires securing both a user’s credential and all lifecycle operations tied to it, such as onboarding, account recovery, reverification and step-up authentication.
“Our platform is built to ensure that only trusted users and secure devices can gain and maintain access. Nametag’s relentless focus on security aligns perfectly with our approach to access management. Only Nametag’s identity verification technology delivers the level of identity assurance we look for to strengthen our platform in the age of generative AI and deepfake impersonation. This partnership will deliver the world’s first complete Identity & Access Management solution to fully safeguard enterprises against current and emerging identity threats,” said Jasson Casey, CEO at Beyond Identity.
Addressing Critical Enterprise Security Challenges with Robust Identity Verification
By integrating Nametag’s Deepfake Defense™ identity verification engine into Beyond Identity’s secure access platform, the companies will protect the entire user lifecycle. The partnership aims to provide enterprises with:
- Seamless Credential Provisioning: Using Nametag identity verification to validate the authenticity of new workforce users, protecting first-time Beyond Identity passkey enrollment.
- Secure Account Recovery: Reducing costs and eliminating support tickets by enabling users to reset their own Beyond Identity passkeys after completing Nametag identity verification.
- High-Assurance Authentication: Enhancing security and preventing breaches by integrating Nametag Deepfake Defense identity verification into continuous authentication protocols.
“This partnership marks a significant step forward in redefining enterprise access management,” said Aaron Painter, CEO at Nametag. “As enterprises increasingly move toward passwordless authentication, it is becoming crucial to integrate high-assurance identity verification throughout the user journey. We’re delighted to partner with Beyond Identity, who demonstrate visionary leadership in Identity & Access Management, to deliver a security-first IAM platform with Nametag identity verification at the core.”
