Nametag

Nametag is an identity verification and account protection company that helps enterprises confirm the real person behind high-risk account actions. Its technology combines cryptography, biometrics and artificial intelligence to detect deepfake impersonation attacks and to secure processes such as employee onboarding, password and MFA resets, and helpdesk customer authentication. The company states it was founded with a mission to protect every account on the internet.

Two products form the core of its offering. Deepfake Defense™ is described as the first identity verification engine built specifically for account protection. The Nametag Identity Verification Platform covers gaps in Identity and Access Management (IAM), verifying employees during hiring and onboarding and allowing helpdesk agents to authenticate customers without exposure to social engineering. Technical work spans identity verification, biometrics, cryptography, AI, deepfake detection and fraud prevention.

Customers include Reddit, Autodesk, HubSpot, UVM Health and Lee Health, spanning technology, software and healthcare. The company has been recognised by Gartner, Forrester and KuppingerCole. Its work sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, IAM and enterprise IT support.

Nametag is a remote-first organisation with team members distributed across multiple US cities. Its headquarters are in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood of Seattle, Washington.
