YYK Enterprises Selects PortalGuard IAM Platform to Secure Data Access and Provide Passwordless Authentication
May 09 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 YYK Enterprises Operations, LLC (YYK), a provider of
structural and mechanical repair/preservation services to the
military and commercial maritime industries, has selected BIO-key's
PortalGuard® IAM platform, including WEB-key biometric
authentication, to provide its workforce with strong authentication
security to mission-critical applications and data.
YYK sought a new IAM solution to improve
authentication security and enhanced support of US Government
security requirements for data and its encryption (e.g., NIST,
FIPS). In addition to supporting these vital authentication
security requirements, YYK needed a solution to improve user
satisfaction by eliminating password fatigue and strengthening
security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) options. With the
PortalGuard IAM platform with WEB-key, YYK can now use biometric
authentication to confirm the user's true identity, not just the
hardware device they are using, without injecting a more cumbersome
or time-intensive MFA process, providing a passwordless login
experience. Another win for the YYK team was to sole-source the
complete solution from BIO-key, including using PIV-Pro fingerprint
readers, which are BIO-key's highly accurate FIPS 201 compliant
scanner, providing the best in class biometric fingerprint
authentication for its customers.
"Based on our search for an enterprise IAM
solution that provided secure passwordless authentication and met
US Government compliance requirements, we can validate the
significant value provided by the PortalGuard IAM platform and
biometric capabilities over other vendor solutions," said William
Elks, IT Manager, YYK Enterprises. "We are looking forward to a
long, mutually beneficial partnership with BIO-key."
"We are pleased to add YYK to our community of
customers that support both military and commercial customers,"
said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key - PortalGuard.
"Our team has extensive experience enabling government agencies and
their contractor partners to meet the challenges of an evolving
threat landscape while cost-effectively securing their
operations."
