1Kosmos has received Department of War Impact Level 4 (IL4) authorization for its digital identity platform, enhancing its existing FedRAMP High Authority to Operate. This certification allows the platform to handle Controlled Unclassified Information and other sensitive data for military personnel, civilian staff, contractors, and mission partners. The platform aims to mitigate identity-based attacks such as phishing and credential theft by binding access to verified individuals rather than traditional credentials. Key use cases include secure contractor onboarding, identity assurance for remote operations, and cross-agency identity verification. The approval reflects a growing need for robust identity management solutions in defense environments, particularly as remote work increases. 1Kosmos is now positioned as a leading provider in the public sector identity market, addressing complex security requirements. The platform is immediately available to Department of War components and approved mission partners through federal procurement channels.
