By launching Enterprise Managed FIDO with YubiKeys, Intercede is enabling organisations to centralise and standardise the entire process of logging on and accessing applications (whether the user is operating online or offline) in a way that meets the FIDO Alliance aim for ‘Simpler, Stronger Authentication.’
Intercede has launched a solution for Enterprise Managed FIDO Authentication, at Authenticate 2023 in California. Passwords, PKI and Windows Hello for Business can all be replaced with highly secure and phishing-resistant FIDO authentication, using Intercede’s enterprise multi-factor authentication (MFA) software and the award-winning YubiKey hardware authentication security key, from its FIDO technology partner – Yubico.
“We’re pleased to partner with Intercede on its new solution to make the log-on process more secure and streamlined, authentication. With the cyber threat landscape continuing to evolve rapidly, solutions that benefit from the use of FIDO credentials are more critical than ever,” said Derek Hanson, VP of Solutions Architecture and Alliances, Yubico.
Intercede’s expertise providing solutions to federal and state organisations, as well as large enterprises across a wide range of sectors, partnered with Yubico’s YubiKey technology, offer an attainable and critical solution for further adoption of FIDO authentication.
Allen Storey, Chief Product Officer, Intercede, stated, “Until now, this level of authentication was the preserve of the largest enterprises and public administrations who can afford to invest in complex PKI-based solutions. This new solution brings the benefits of secure and simple FIDO authentication to the Enterprise, regardless as to whether the organisation is using on-premise, desktop, cloud or different versions of Windows.”
Both Intercede and Yubico were sponsors of Authenticate 2023, which focussed on the FIDO standards-based approach. The event took place from October 16 – 18, in California.
