The agency sought a comprehensive IAM solution to address challenges with managing multiple account credentials per user, and reducing IT Support costs, particularly for password resets. The PortalGuard deployment will also allow for advanced MFA options to improve the phish-resistance and resiliency of their systems against cyberattacks.

PortalGuard’s SSO feature will streamline user access by allowing users to sign into multiple applications with just one set of strong credentials. PortalGuard’s strong MFA adds an extra layer of protection to guard against phishing and unauthorized access. PortalGuard’s customizable Account Dashboard gives users a centralized interface to manage their authentication preferences and authenticators, and its Application Launchpad will provide one-click access all WDE digital resources and web applications, including cloud storage services like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, to allow seamless file access from a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Additionally, PortalGuard’s customizable Administrator Dashboard gives IT teams greater control, visibility and reporting of user access patterns helping to manage security with ease.

With PortalGuard IDaaS, our clients can continue to make improvements to their overall security posture. Expected additional benefits include a superior tailored user experience, and streamlined access procedures and compliance, a reduction in IT support calls and password reset requests leading to lower operational costs.

“We are thrilled to partner with the WDE to help them overcome critical challenges in security and user access management,” said Mark Cochran, President of BIO-key’s PortalGuard division. “PortalGuard IDaaS was designed to deliver strong enterprise security while enhancing the end user experience. We are confident it will deliver significant value to the WDE as it has for hundreds of governmental, educational and commercial entities.”
