Identity verification for the modern enterprise
When MFA isn’t enough
Passwords and traditional MFA alone can’t keep up with today’s threats. From deepfakes to social engineering, attackers are getting better at impersonating legitimate users.
In fact, of the data breaches where attackers used AI tools, deepfake impersonation accounted for 35% of incidents.*
Robust identity verification, built into Okta
Okta’s out-of-the-box integrations for identity verification add a critical layer of security. They confirm customers and employees are who they say they are, before granting access.


Supported methods include:
- Document-based proofs like mobile driver license (mDL)
- Liveness detection techniques to confirm a real, live person is present during verification
- Biometric verification through facial feature analysis from an image or video, compared against a database
- Knowledge-based proofs like, “Name the first street you lived on”
