Audrain County, Missouri Selects PortalGuard Identity and Access Control Platform to Provide Data Security, Regulatory & Insurance Compliance for its Hybrid Workforce
January 11 2022 - 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 Audrain County, MO has selected its
PortalGuard IAM platform, including WEB-key biometric
authentication, to provide its hybrid workforce with a unified
approach to meet their compliance requirements for securing access
to mission-critical applications and data.
Audrain County is leveraging the PortalGuard
platform to unify its identity control and to support compliance
with cybersecurity insurance requirements. PortalGuard was selected
over competitive solutions because of its combined IAM security
capabilities and high degree of flexibility and scalability. The
County's IT team chose to apply enhanced security to their
enterprise systems by also incorporating BIO-key's WEB-key
biometric authentication solution to prove each user's true
identity instead of merely validating their hardware device.
WEB-key also eliminated the need for employees to use their
personal mobile devices to authenticate to county IT systems.
PortalGuard provides the County with a unified user experience with
modern security controls across all its enterprise resources while
also supporting its complex user access scenarios effectively and
efficiently.
"Considering that today's cyber and data
security threats are tomorrow's insurance claims, all organizations
must take proactive steps to implement a modern IAM solution that
is both effective and compliant," said Mark Cochran, President of
BIO-key – PortalGuard. "Our growing base of county government
customers validate that PortalGuard and WEB-key offer the best
blend of advanced security capabilities with the flexibility that
organizations require to meet their compliance requirements without
negatively impacting the user experience."
