The addition of Cyberlitica as a member of the BIO-key CAP program is focused on helping customers address these core aspects as they develop a holistic approach to cybersecurity.

Cyberlitica offers a comprehensive suite of products and services available to combat cyber-warfare, account takeover, and fraud, faced by individuals and companies alike. While BIO-key�s award-winning IAM [and authentication] platform, PortalGuard, reduces password-related IT support calls by up to 95%; eliminates passwords; secures remote access; prevents phishing attacks; meets cyber insurance requirements; and improves productivity for the customer�s IT team. PortalGuard offers flexible options for single sign-on, self-service password reset, and 16 multi-factor authentication methods. PortalGuard is the only IAM platform to offer Identity-Bound Biometrics, available on-premises or in the cloud, as a service (IDaaS).

�Because of the many high-profile companies and government agencies that we work with, Cyberlitica chooses�its partners very carefully with a vetting process that's one of the strictest in the industry,� said Bob Schiff, Founder and CEO, Cyberlitica. �That's why we chose BIO-key as our �Best of Breed� partner for authentication.
