In our first blog, we introduced IDProof+, a rapidly deployable solution developed in collaboration with authID and integrated with Microsoft Entra Verified ID. It addresses critical vulnerabilities in remote identity verification, enabling organizations to confidently verify and maintain trust in remote individuals.
In this second installment, we explore why this issue is so pressing and why organizations can’t afford to ignore it.
Our global workforce has never been more diverse. Today, contractors, vendors, and external workers make up over 38% of the workforce. Combine that with the rise of remote work and inconsistent onboarding/offboarding processes, and the risks multiply.
Consider these sobering stats:
Remote work and contractor reliance have created a perfect storm–and hackers know it.
The threat isn’t hypothetical–it’s real. Here are a handful of recent real-world examples:
And the tactics keep evolving:
These threats underscore a critical truth: definitive identity assurance is no longer optional—it’s essential. IDProof+ delivers that assurance by binding an identity to a government-issued ID and biometric verification, ensuring organizations can trust who they’re hiring, onboarding, or supporting.
See IDProof+ in action and discover how it stops deepfake fraud and insider threats before they happen.
In our next and final blog, we’ll dive into three high-risk use cases—remote hiring, contractor onboarding, and help desk callers—and show how IDProof+ verifies users quickly and securely in each scenario.

This three-part webinar series brings together leading voices to discuss transforming identity security through intelligent automation.
With machines now outnumbering humans by staggering ratios, unmanaged identities have become a critical, and often overlooked, attack vector that organizations can no longer afford to ignore.
Unlock operational insight with IdentityLens—MajorKey Technologies’ advanced reporting and analytics platform for managed services—empowering organizations with real-time identity data, automated compliance, and actionable dashboards for smarter, safer IT operations.
MajorKey’s HorizonID is a transformative solution that bridges the gap between legacy identity systems and modern cloud-based strategies.
Discover how MajorKey’s Managed Operations (MOps) empowers organizations to achieve secure, scalable, and outcome-driven identity management with expert guidance, automation, and 24/7 support.

NomadID by MajorKey Technologies is an Identity, Credentialing, and Access Management (ICAM) solution designed for Department of Defense (DOD) and federal agencies operating in Disconnected, Denied, Intermittent, Low-Bandwidth (DDIL) environments. It ensures uninterrupted authentication and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities even during network outages or hostile conditions, combining identity management, security monitoring, and governance locally at the edge to uphold security standards and maintain seamless access in challenging or disconnected scenarios.
Whether you're securing privileged access, enabling self-service recovery, or modernizing identity, MajorKey’s IDProof+ provides a proven defense against fraud and identity-based threats.
Non-human identities (NHIs) such as service accounts, bots, and API keys operate autonomously across IT environments but often lack proper provisioning, lifecycle management, and oversight, making them a critical security risk. Effective NHI management requires inventory and ownership clarity, strict access controls based on least privilege, automated lifecycle management, continuous monitoring, and executive alignment to reduce breach risks and ensure compliance.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) can be sold to business leaders effectively by focusing on business outcomes rather than technical jargon. Emphasizing benefits such as increased employee productivity through streamlined access, faster onboarding with automated provisioning, enhanced audit compliance with automated role management, improved customer loyalty via seamless and secure login experiences, and uninterrupted business operations by ensuring timely access to tools helps connect IAM to revenue growth, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency.
A critical zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server on-premises, tracked as CVE-2025-53770 and nicknamed "ToolShell," is actively exploited, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially compromising entire servers and networks. Microsoft has released emergency patches and mitigation guidance, urging all users to apply updates immediately, enable advanced detection tools like Microsoft Defender, rotate ASP.NET machine keys, and strengthen access governance with Privileged Access Management (PAM) to protect against this severe threat.
Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access is a unified Security Service Edge (SSE) platform combining Microsoft Entra Private Access for secure, identity-based access to private applications and Microsoft Entra Internet Access providing cloud-based Secure Web Gateway and threat protection for internet and SaaS access. It enforces Zero Trust principles, centralizes policy management, enables continuous risk assessment, and delivers seamless, agentless user experiences, making it a modern replacement for traditional VPNs.
