Grand Rapids Community College Selects PortalGuard to Secure Application and Data Access Across All Campuses
November 30 2021 - 7:58AM
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 Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) has selected its
PortalGuard IAM solution to provide its users with strong
authentication security and seamless access to mission-critical
applications and data at its campuses located throughout western
Michigan.
GRCC sought a replacement for its current SSO
solution to improve user satisfaction by eliminating password
fatigue, to allow users consistent access to all applications
including PeopleSoft and Blackboard using a single set of
credentials, and to strengthen security with multi-factor
authentication (MFA) options. PortalGuard met GRCC IT team
requirements such as assisting first-time users with onboarding,
protecting against potential brute force attacks/failed sign-in
attempts, and enhancing remote access security with adaptive
authentication capabilities for off-campus login attempts. In
addition, PortalGuard's ability to handle multiple security
standards, support a high volume of users (400,000+), and connect
to multiple user repositories were essential in GRCC's selection
process.
"GRCC chose PortalGuard in a competitive bidding
process due to significant security capabilities and value over
other vendor solutions," said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key -
PortalGuard. "Organizations require a comprehensive IAM solution
that will reduce risk, avoid IT infrastructure cost and complexity,
accelerate digital transformation, and free up IT staff to focus on
core business initiatives. Our customers are utilizing the
PortalGuard IAM platform to strengthen security by eliminating
risky password management practices and applying advanced adaptive
authentication technology to reduce vulnerabilities and attack
surfaces."
