BIO-key to Showcase Identity-Bound Biometric Solutions and Higher Education Expertise at EDUCAUSE Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference 2022
April 29 2022 - 7:59AM
BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider
of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Identity-Bound
Biometric (IBB) solutions, will exhibit at the EDUCAUSE
Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference, to be held
in-person in Baltimore, Maryland May 3-5, and as an online event
May 11-12. BIO-key will have a vendor corporate display at the
conference where higher education IT security professionals can
discuss the latest cyber threats and why IBB should be part of any
complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) strategy. BIO-key will
be available for Q&A sessions and live demonstrations of their
award-winning PortalGuard®platform and MobileAuth™ MFA mobile
app.
In addition to in-person events, BIO-key will also participate
in the online portion of the event on May 12. Kimberly Biddings, VP
of Product at BIO-key, will join Ron Horn, Associate Vice
President, and CIO of Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC)
in the session, “We’ve Had a Ransomware Attack, Now What?”. The
session will focus on GTCC’s experience surviving a ransomware
attack in 2020, including how Horn’s team detected the attack,
their response and six-month road to recovery.
The education sector has been a key target for cyberattacks,
such as ransomware attacks that continue to grow in frequency and
ferocity. Many institutions struggle to defend against surging
cyberattacks, as the shift to remote and online learning present
cybercriminals with new opportunities to attack. As a premiere
cybersecurity event, the EDUCASUE conference will focus on
cybersecurity topics pertinent to the higher education sector,
including awareness and education, governance, risk and compliance
for privacy and cybersecurity, operations, and career
development.
As experts in higher education, with solutions that are trusted
by more than 200 institutions, BIO-key welcomes the opportunity to
meet with higher education IT security professionals about
improving their cybersecurity strategies, while working within the
boundaries of their limited resources. Attendees are invited to
stop by BIO-key’s corporate display for live demonstrations and to
discuss their top priorities.
“With heightened risk for cyberattacks on higher education
organizations, it’s essential that they have effective
cybersecurity measures in place, namely multi-factor
authentication,” said Kimberly Biddings, VP of Product, BIO-key.
“After years of helping our customers implement traditional MFA,
we’re looking forward to discussing how institutions can leverage
Identity-Bound Biometrics to provide authentication options that
won’t fall victim to common authentication hacks and that faculty,
staff and students can easily adopt.”
During the demonstrations, attendees will see
BIO-key's award-winning PortalGuard platform with its
end-to-end flexibility. The PortalGuard platform is a complete IAM
solution that offers single sign-on (SSO), self-service password
reset (SSPR), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and BIO-key's
unique Identity-Bound Biometric solutions, available
on-premises or in the cloud. BIO-key will also demonstrate
MobileAuth, the only multi-factor authentication app to offer
Identity-Bound Biometric authentication options, that safeguards
access to critical data with authentication that verifies the user,
and offers multiple, easy to use authentication methods for users
to choose from, all while reducing operational costs for IT
departments.
