(NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) solutions featuring phoneless, tokenless, passwordless and phish-resistant authentication solutions, announced the company will sponsor, speak, and exhibit at ISC2 Security Congress 2024, in Las Vegas on October 14 – 16, 2024. BIO-key will be hosting a session on Passkeys. Passkeys and zero trust are core enabling concepts of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance on cybersecurity for digital identities. Passkeys are identified as aiding adherence to NIST Authentication Assurance Levels (AAL) standards in the NIST 800-63B Passkey Supplementary Guidelines released in May 2024. Passkeys have historically been stored or secured by phones, personal laptops or hardware tokens but many enterprise users work in phone-free, roving user environments. The cost of hardware tokens for thousands of users becomes a drain on critical security budgets. BIO-key’s core differentiator in the authentication category is allowing users to take advantage of a biometric passwordless authentication solution that does not require the use of phones or tokens. This unique capability fills a crucial business use case gap that traditional MFA overlooks – roving users working without phones, providing a secure authentication experience that reduces the total cost of ownership and provides the highest levels of usability and security. BIO-key’s award-winning unified IAM platform, PortalGuard®, has helped organizations of all sizes balance risk with flexibility and productivity for users and identity administrators. The company’s newest offering, Passkey:YOU brings a phoneless, tokenless, passwordless experience to any IdP via a managed passkey secured by a touch of a fingerprint or any door badge. The ISC2 Security Congress, themed “Boldly Forward,” brings together thousands of cybersecurity professionals and inspires attendees from all stages of the cybersecurity profession to elevate their careers, providing the opportunity to acquire new strategies, skills, and expertise to overcome the industry’s most pressing challenges. “Continuous Education is vital for secu...
