Forgepoint Capital, and Oquirrh Ventures, the venture capital firms, led a $47m Series B round in 1Kosmos, a provider of identity proofing and passwordless authentication, with participation from Craig Abod, NextEra Energy Investments, Gula Tech Adventures and the 1Kosmos management team. "Identity has become the first step in the kill chain. This investment allows us to strengthen the proactive controls organizations need to prevent impersonation-based attacks—whether it’s a sophisticated hacking group or a state-sponsored developer hiding in plain sight. 1Kosmos identity verification is the only practical solution that can be quickly deployed in a matter of hours to effectively combat this threat," Hemen Vimadalal, 1Kosmos CEO.
