“Gula Tech Adventures made this investment because 1Kosmos is pioneering an approach based on the vision that a user’s identity and the authentication method they use to login to a system should be inseparable,” said Ron Gula. “Unifying these two functions allows 1Kosmos to not only support passwordless access, but also multi-factor authentication, Zero Trust, distributed identity with privacy and user consent at its core.”

“We are honored to welcome Ron as a strategic investor and were able to attract someone of his stature because he is aligned with our belief that we can’t get rid of passwords unless we eliminate the silos between authentication and identity verification,” said Hemen Vimadalal, CEO of 1Kosmos. “His accomplishments in the security industry speak for themselves and we look forward to tapping Ron and the GTA team’s advice and expertise to help us expand our market leadership position.”
