Why Specops Verified ID?

Identity-based attacks are increasingly targeting service desks and recovery workflows. It’s vital you can reliably verify your end users while onboarding, resetting passwords, and during recovery events.

Specops Verified ID Liveness Scan

Biometric Liveness Detection

  • Modern deepfake-generated video and AI-synthesized voice can easily deceive human agents and basic face-matching tools
  • Prevents the risk of service desk impersonation attacks leading to account takeover, which have become key attack vectors in the age of AI vishing
  • Phishing resistant by design. AI-driven analysis of real-time facial movements and depth cues to confirm physical presence and block fraudulent attempts using photos, videos, or masks
  • Good end user experience. Fast and intuitive app-based verification process via Specops:ID that doesn’t frustrate legitimate users

Government Document Scanning and Validation

  • AI-generated forgeries of identity documents are an emerging threat and hard to detect without the right tools
  • Reads machine-readable zones and standardized security features to detect forgery, leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms. All AI and machine learning algorithms are pre-trained and operate without using or retaining customer data for training purposes.
  • Verified attributes are validated against the user’s record in Active Directory, ensuring the person requesting access is the legitimate account holder
  • Support for 16,000+ government-issued identity documents (including passports, driver’s licenses, and national identity cards) across 254 countries and territories

Simple Integration Into Existing Workflows

  • Natively integrates with Specops uReset and Specops Secure Service Desk. No separate deployment required or complex installation process
  • Automates verification workflows to reduce agent handling time spent on manual processes

Extra Onboarding Security Layer

  • Securely verify new employees ahead of setting their first password, combined with the First Day Password add-on
  • IT staff never have to share a first day password with a new hire ever again

How it Works: A Simple, Secure Process

Step 1: User Prompted to Verify

A user is onboarding or attempts to self-reset a password or has called the service desk. They’re prompted to verify their identity through the Specops:ID mobile app, which is free and available on iOS & Android.

Step 2: Document Verification

The user scans their passport, driver’s license, or national identity card. Specops Verified ID supports a broad range of government-issued documents used worldwide, including standardized security features such as holograms and machine-readable zones.

Step 3️: Biometric Liveness Validation

Real-time biometric liveness analysis checks for genuine facial movements, depth cues, and other indicators of human presence — distinguishing the real user from photo, video, or mask spoofing attempts.

Step 4️: Directory Validation

Key identity attributes extracted from the document are automatically validated against the user record provisioned in Active Directory, ensuring the person is who they claim to be.

Step 5️: Verification Passes

If the user is successfully verified against their records, the reset or request is authorized and proceeds via SSPR or the service desk agent.
