Stop Cyber Attacks Before They Start
January 13, 2026
Cyber attacks rarely begin with sophisticated hacks. More often, they start with stolen passwords, or someone gaining access by using another user’s information. The impact is familiar: system downtime, disrupted operations, reputational damage, and significant cost.
Origin Secured’s Credential Challenge solution helps organisations prevent these incidents by changing how trust is established at the moment it matters most.
Instead of relying solely on usernames, passwords, passkeys, or one-time codes, Credential Challenge verifies a person is authorised to take an action, at the moment they try to access a system or application.
From Assumed Trust to Proven Authority
Traditional login methods only prove that someone knows a secret, such as a password. They do not prove who the person really is, or whether they are still authorised to access a system, approve a transaction, or view sensitive information.
Credential Challenge replaces assumption with proof.
Each user is issued a secure Digital Licence that holds verified credentials linked to them as an individual. These credentials might confirm their biometric identity, what role they hold, or what permissions they have. Crucially, this information does not need to be exposed, or stored in a central database.
When a user attempts to log into a system or application, they are asked to confirm one or more credentials from their Digital Licence. Access is only granted once that proof is provided, in real time.
The result is simple: the right person, with the right authority, at the right moment.
Clear Benefits for the Business
By verifying credentials at the point of action, organisations can:
Reduce the risk of cyber attacks caused by stolen or misused credentials.
Prevent unauthorised access before damage occurs, rather than detecting it afterwards.
Minimise downtime and disruption to critical systems.
Lower the cost of incident response, recovery, and regulatory penalties.
Strengthen trust with customers, partners, and regulators.
At the same time, users benefit from a smoother experience, without repeated password resets or complex security steps.
Easy to Deploy, Designed to Fit
Credential Challenge is designed to work alongside your existing systems. It can be embedded directly into current login flows, access controls, or approval processes without replacing what you already use.
There is no need to centralise sensitive data or introduce complex new platforms. Users simply respond to a secure credential request when prompted, using their Digital Licence.
Every interaction is recorded cryptographically on your organisation’s private Event Chain, creating an immutable audit trail. This provides clear evidence of who did what, and when, supporting compliance, investigations, and governance without additional effort.
Security That Works in the Real World
Credential Challenge delivers stronger security, reduced risk, and measurable cost savings, while remaining practical and user friendly.
In a world in which static credentials are no longer enough, Origin Secured enables organisations to verify authority with confidence, at the exact moment it counts.
