Specops has launched an authentication API that allows organisations to integrate identity verification into AI chatbots.
Cybersecurity provider Specops has launched the Specops Authentication API, allowing organisations to integrate identity verification into AI chatbots, applications and automated business workflows.
The API is designed to verify users before automated processes proceed, helping organisations introduce identity checks into their existing systems. For example, when an employee asks an internal AI chatbot to initiate a password reset, the chatbot can trigger a verification request using an authentication method the employee has already enrolled in.
The API returns the verification result, allowing the organisation’s workflow to determine whether the request should proceed. It is also platform-agnostic, meaning organisations can integrate identity verification into their preferred chatbot rather than relying on a specific platform.
Darren James, Senior Product Manager at Specops Software, said: “The challenge isn’t just making AI capable of taking action. It’s making sure the person requesting that action is who they claim to be. Identity verification needs to be built into these workflows from the start, not treated as an afterthought.”
