Logistics Provider ALPI Portugal Selects BIO-key for Secure Data Access, Including Multi-factor Authentication and Single Sign-On, Both Internally and for B2B
October 27 2023 - 7:58AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM)
featuring passwordless, phoneless, and token-less Identity-Bound
Biometric (IBB) authentication solutions, today announced that ALPI
Portugal Lda. has deployed AuthControl Sentry company-wide for
enhanced data access security through BIO-key. The solution will
utilize Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) access and Single Sign-on
(SSO) to secure data access by all of ALPI Portugal’s internal
users, including employees and third party drivers, as well as
those with restricted access to their B2B website.
The primary goal of this project was to
implement MFA across all company systems for enhanced security
during login. Additionally, ALPI aimed to enhance the user
experience by integrating SSO (Single Sign-On) with web platforms,
to ensure protected B2B interactions. This integration allows and
protects 24x7 tracking of deliveries from any location worldwide.
BIO-key EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Asia) collaborated with ALTICE
Portugal, a manager of cybersecurity projects, for this initiative.
Outside of Portugal, the ALTICE Group, operates in broadband, pay
television, telephony services, digital advertising, and radio
networks, and has a footprint in France, Israel, the Dominican
Republic and the United States, among other countries.
"We are proud to work with and enable secure
authentication solutions for ALPI Portugal, an esteemed logistics
provider. We now have over 1 million [seat] licenses outstanding in
the critical logistics sector. Altice stands as one of our pivotal
international partners, boasting over 50 engineers trained in
AuthControl Sentry. This collaboration will allow us to jointly
provide round-the-clock support for 24x7 operations like ALPI
logistics," stated Alex Rocha, Managing Director at BIO-key
EMEA.
