Oklahoma Wesleyan University Selects BIO-key's PortalGuard Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) Platform to Provide Secure, Frictionless Access to Enterprise Applications
November 01 2021 - 7:57AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM)
solutions featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), today
announced Oklahoma Wesleyan University (OKWU), in Bartlesville, OK,
has selected BIO-key's PortalGuard® Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS)
platform to provide secure, frictionless identity and access
management to its enterprise applications. The addition of OKWU
adds to PortalGuard’s higher education installed base of over 200
institutions across the U.S.
OKWU sought a new access management platform to enhance its IAM
security and to streamline and improve the user experience when
accessing enterprise applications and institutional data. Following
a review of alternative solutions, OKWU’s IT team selected
PortalGuard IDaaS because it satisfied important project goals of
enhanced data security and reliability; provides an easy-to-use,
frictionless user interface; and delivers seamless integration to
critical applications, all with lower IT resource costs.
Importantly, PortalGuard IDaaS provides broad support for
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), along with Self-Service Password
Reset (SSPR) and Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities and is quick and
easy to deploy in the cloud.
PortalGuard's policy-driven password security and MFA ensures
that only authorized OKWU faculty, staff, alumni, and students are
able to access enterprise applications by entering just one set of
credentials. This dramatically increases the satisfaction and
productivity of all users, while keeping data secure.
"The PortalGuard IDaaS product is simple to install and
integrate into our customers’ environment while providing a
sophisticated, secure solution with an easy-to-use interface
allowing staff and students to adopt it without any difficulty,"
said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key - PortalGuard. "PortalGuard
asserts the appropriate levels of IAM security controls to secure
data while also providing accelerated time to value and integrity
to the modern enterprise, which why it is an increasingly adopted,
award-winning single sign-on and identity management platform."
