Face Check is a high-assurance verification technology integrated with Microsoft Entra Verified ID. It allows employees to register a photo from an official identification document and, when needed, submit a real-time selfie for verification. The technology matches the selfie against the registered photo, ensuring user privacy by only sharing match results without disclosing sensitive personal information.
How does Face Check enhance security?
Face Check enhances security by providing sophisticated verification that helps protect against deepfake impersonation. It streamlines the verification process into a simple one-step workflow, allowing for high-confidence interactions. This is particularly important for high-risk transactions, as it adds an extra layer of assurance while maintaining user convenience and privacy.
What are the benefits of using Microsoft Entra solutions?
By using Microsoft Entra solutions, Arup benefits from a robust identity verification service that integrates seamlessly with other business processes. This interoperability allows for granular access control to confidential resources and supports secure development practices. The combination of Face Check and Azure services has been key to scaling their identity verification efforts, ensuring both security and efficiency.
