PortalGuard Identity & Access Management (IAM) Platform Chosen by Lawrence County, South Dakota for Frictionless Cyber Security & Insurance Compliance
January 18 2022 - 7:59AM
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 Lawrence County, SD has selected its
PortalGuard IAM platform, including WEB-key biometric
authentication. PortalGuard will provide its staff with seamless,
secure access to mission-critical county applications and data that
meets its cyber security and insurance compliance requirements.
Lawrence County is using PortalGuard to
consolidate IAM technologies, unify its identity control, support
insurance compliance, and a zero trust initiative. The PortalGuard
platform enables the County's IT team to consolidate its security
tools and services, reduce its on-premises footprint, and simplify
IT touchpoints. The County sought to avoid mandating that employees
use personal phones for work purposes, so the IT team implemented
the WEB-key biometric solution as the primary authentication factor
for Microsoft Windows access to enhance workstation login security
and meet cyber insurance requirements. By using PortalGuard, the
County gains strong IAM security controls with Multi-Factor
Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities. The
platform's seventeen available authentication options, including
WEB-key's biometric authentication capabilities, deliver an
efficient, easy-to-use, and frictionless user experience across all
their enterprise resources.
"Only a flexible and powerful approach to IAM
security can help organizations meet the increasing challenges of
today's threat landscape," said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key
- PortalGuard. "We are proud to provide our county government
customers with cost-effective solutions to secure their operations,
improve their user experience, and implement unified security
controls that verify users' identities with a passwordless
approach. PortalGuard and WEB-key provide advanced and flexible IAM
capabilities without negatively impacting workflow. Best of all,
PortalGuard is customized to the client environment, not the other
way around, and easily integrates with existing systems."
