Real-Time Identity Verification
Real People. Proven.
Polyguard verifies the real identity of every person in your digital transactions — on video calls, at the help desk, and inside your apps — in real time, before damage is done.
The Threat Is Already Here
Deepfakes and social engineering have made identity the most exploited attack surface in business. These are not theoretical risks.
Deepfake Candidates in Remote Interviews
State-sponsored operatives and fraudsters use stolen identities and synthetic video to pass remote interviews. Background checks verify the stolen credentials — they pass. The impostor gets the job.

Attackers call your help desk, impersonate an employee, and talk their way into a password reset. Knowledge-based verification — "What's your employee ID?" — is fundamentally broken. A single successful call compromises privileged accounts.

Your application handles sensitive transactions — account creation, financial approvals, access control — but the person on the other side has never been truly verified. One-time identity checks at signup leave a permanent gap.

Polyguard verifies identity where it matters most — in the moments that determine whether your organization is protected or exposed.
Secure Remote Hiring
Verify every candidate's real identity before and during interviews. Polyguard stops deepfake and proxy candidates by confirming the person on camera matches their verified identity — across every interaction, not just once.
Learn more →Help Desk Security
Replace knowledge-based verification with cryptographic identity confirmation. Before any password reset or account change, the employee verifies their identity on Polyguard Mobile — your help desk agent sees confirmed identity, not guesswork.

Embed Trust Checks into any application with a few lines of code. Account creation, transactions, access control — your users verify their identity without ever leaving your workflow. You never handle biometric data.
Learn more →Fused Identity. One Verification.
Multiple identity factors — fused simultaneously on one device into a single cryptographic proof.
Person
Real-time facial recognition with 3D depth analysis confirms the person on camera.
Document
Government-issued ID verified through NFC cryptographic chip reading — not OCR.
Device
Hardware-backed attestation via Apple AppAttest and Google Play Integrity confirms a genuine device.
Location
Physical presence verified through PG-Presence optical distance bounding and geolocation.
PG-Presence
The only technology that closes the remote desktop, screen sharing, and KVM attack surface. Patented optical distance bounding verifies physical proximity in under ~100ms — a unique approach to closing this attack surface.

Founded by Joshua McKenty & Khadem Badiyan
Joshua McKenty, former NASA technologist and OpenStack co-creator, and Khadem Badiyan, AI startup founder with PhD research in cryptography — combining deep infrastructure, security, and mathematical expertise to solve identity verification.
SOC 2 Type II Certified
Independent audit with unqualified opinion. Security controls, availability, and confidentiality verified by a third-party assessor.
Patented PG-Presence Technology
PG-Presence is the only technology that verifies physical presence at the device — closing the remote desktop, screen sharing, and KVM attack surface that no other identity verification product addresses.
