Award Cybersecurity Excellence Awards 2026
Category Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Rank Gold Award
Recipient AI identity-verification e-learning system “ONLINE FACE®”
■ Identity-verification technology recognized internationally
In recent years, as online education, qualification training, and corporate training have become more widespread, “identity verification” and “fraud prevention” have become challenges shared around the world.
ONLINE FACE® uses AI facial-recognition technology to continuously verify identity not only at the start of a course but throughout it, preventing impersonation, proxy attendance, and other fraudulent behavior.
In this year’s judging, ONLINE FACE® was highly commended for its unique verification model, which confirms identity continuously throughout an entire training session rather than only at login.
■ Also adopted by government bodies and in fields related to national qualifications
ONLINE FACE® has been adopted for online classroom instruction at designated driving schools, as well as for statutory training, training related to national qualifications, corporate training, and other fields that demand a high degree of identity-verification accuracy.
It has also obtained related patents in Japan, the United States, and other countries and regions, and continues to advance the development and social implementation of online identity-verification technology.
