On the heels of exiting stealth with $30 million in Series A funding from marquee investors and introducing a revolutionary, passwordless identity management solution, Beyond Identity announced the formation of an all-star technical advisory board comprising the "Father of SSL," the co-inventor of public-key cryptography, and CISOs from two of America's most successful companies, Koch Industries and Aflac.

Beyond Identity replaces passwords with trusted certificates, originally defined in PKC and ubiquitously deployed within TLS. This proven, secure, and scalable approach enables Beyond Identity to eliminate passwords, reduce risk for organizations, remove friction for end users, and offer consumers a much more secure alternative to password managers.

"Passwords are the bane of everyone's existence - from consumers to the largest enterprises," said Jermoluk, Co-Founder and CEO of Beyond Identity.

Beyond Identity for Workforces provides "Snap-in" integration with single sign-on solutions, while Beyond Identity for Customers can be integrated with web-based and native apps.

"What really stood out to me on Beyond Identity was their strong technical team and their purpose-built architecture born in the cloud. I see the company changing the identity and security landscape by truly eliminating passwords."
