BIO-key to Showcase PortalGuard IAM Platform and Higher Education Expertise at Booth 638 at 2021 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference October 26-29
October 20 2021 - 7:59AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity-Bound
Biometric (IBB) solutions, today announced the company will exhibit
at the 2021 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, to be held at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center, in Philadelphia from October 26-29.
BIO-key will be available for meetings with their 200+ higher
education customers and attendees, Q&A sessions, and live
demonstrations of their award-winning PortalGuard IAM platform at
booth 638.
As the premier higher education IT event, the
EDUCAUSE Annual Conference focuses on the many changes this year
has brought to higher education, as professionals and leading
technology providers gather to share their experiences around
transformation, resilience, and the common good. As key agenda
topics, cybersecurity and privacy are top of mind for attendees, as
the education sector faces a growing complex of cybersecurity
threats. The industry has been under high attack for several years
already, with phishing, ransomware, and denial-of-service attacks
growing in frequency and ferocity. But what has exacerbated the
existing security challenges is the forced move to remote and
online learning in response to the global health pandemic.
As security experts, BIO-key welcomes the
opportunity to meet with higher education IT professionals about
navigating the complex educational cybersecurity environment while
working within the boundaries of their potentially limited
resources. Attendees are invited to stop by booth 638 for live
demonstrations of BIO-key PortalGuard and to discuss top
cybersecurity priorities, including:
- Eliminating passwords
- Securing remote learning
- Protecting student data
- Reducing password reset calls
During the demonstrations, attendees will see
why 200+ higher education institutions trust BIO-key's
award-winning PortalGuard platform for its end-to-end flexibility
to support their dynamic cybersecurity strategies. The PortalGuard
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, available on-premises or in the
cloud.
"With over 20 years in higher education, now
more than ever we need to come together to transform the education
sector and ensure that the right cybersecurity safety measures are
put into place," said Mark Cochran, President of PortalGuard,
BIO-key. "We look forward to connecting with higher education IT
professionals to discuss how we can help evolve their cybersecurity
strategies together, giving them IAM solutions that are built for
them, delivered with the resources they have
today."
