BIO-key announced new capabilities for its PortalGuard IDaaS cloud-delivered authentication solution.

To mitigate common threats while providing more convenient methods of authentication such as passwordless, biometric, and adaptive technologies, BIO-Key is introducing new innovations for PortalGuard IDaaS to better serve customers who are keen to have more options for securing their hybrid environments of cloud-based and on-premises applications, as well as multiple directory support, including Microsoft Azure.

PortalGuard already leads the industry by supporting over fifteen authentication factors and contextual authentication.

Azure AD will be supported as a "First-class" directory for real-time authentication in PortalGuard, and its Hybrid Domain joining functionality will also be supported for organizations that have federated Office365/Azure AD within PortalGuard.

PortalGuard already supports FIDO2 tokens, positioned by Microsoft and other industry leaders as a key to the elimination of password-based authentication.

"The launch of our new PortalGuard and WEB-Key capabilities provides improved authentication and support for working from any location, which are critical issues for today's institutions, especially in targeted segments such as education, government, financial, and healthcare."
