BIO-key to Sponsor and Attend the 2021 National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) Annual Conference, October 10-13 as Cybersecurity Remains a Top Priority
October 06 2021 - 7:58AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity-Bound
Biometric (IBB) solutions, will attend and serve as a bronze
sponsor of the 2021 National Association of State Chief Information
Officers (NASCIO) Annual Conference, which will take place from
October 10 - October 13 in Seattle, WA. BIO-key is attending as a
proud Corporate Member of NASCIO, which fosters government
excellence through the leadership of quality business practices,
information management, and technology.
The NASCIO Annual Conference comes at a time when the government
sector faces a plethora of cybersecurity threats, including
ransomware, business email compromise, phishing, and data breaches.
With many state governments still left underprepared for the
relentless onslaught of attacks, cybersecurity is the highest
concern. This concern is evident in the NASCIO State CIO Top Ten
Policy and Technology Priorities for 2021, which places
cybersecurity and risk management as the number one concern for
strategy, policy issues, and management processes, and IAM as one
of the top three priorities for technologies, applications, and
tools.
As a bronze sponsor, BIO-key welcomes the opportunity to network
and learn about various topics in state government, including
evolving cybersecurity, and sharing information about their
flexible IAM solutions, such as their award-winning PortalGuard
IDaaS platform. The PortalGuard IDaaS platform is a complete
identity and access management (IAM) solution that offers over 16
authentication options for multi-factor authentication (MFA),
single sign-on (SSO), and self-service password reset (SSPR), and
BIO-key's unique Identity-Bound Biometric solutions. BIO-key's
Identity-Bound Biometrics fills the significant user experience
gaps in mainstream MFA solutions by positively and conveniently
identifying users, not just their device. This event brings
together the public and private sectors to improve states' cyber
resilience and defend critical infrastructure from ransomware and
other debilitating cyberattacks.
"We're proud to sponsor the NASCIO Annual Conference this year,"
said Kimberly Johnson, VP of Product, BIO-key. "Cybersecurity and
IAM challenges are widespread across state agencies, which are
historically under-staffed and often lacking in cybersecurity
expertise and technical support. We look forward to connecting with
state CIOs and their teams to share cybersecurity best practices
and discuss flexible and affordable solutions to their unique
challenges."
