BIO-key International and 3Eye Technologies Partner to Deliver Identity-Bound Biometrics to New Markets

Partnership will offer the industry’s most secure form of identity and access management solutions to governments and organizations worldwide

WALL, N.J., April 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions featuring Identity-Bound Biometrics (IBB), today announced a new partnership with 3Eye Technologies, a value-added distributor of mobile, security, and identity solutions. The affiliation will enable BIO-key to introduce its award-winning solutions and IBB to a larger set of consumers, especially in financial services and local governments. This partnership will enable them to bring higher security and convenience to organizations looking for complete IAM solution packages.

3Eye Technologies collaborates with vendors to plan and execute strategies for distributing cutting-edge technological solutions to targeted industries. The company aims to build relationships with leading technology vendors like BIO-key to empower value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) to represent, sell, and service best-in-class products.

The need for convenient, secure IAM solutions has never been higher, with an increasing amount of critical business being done online or from remote locations. Trust in who has access to what is paramount to building trust both inside an organization and for customers. In particular, governments and financial institutions are targets for threat actors to attempt to gain access to protected data. The ability to safeguard these systems needs to be matched by the ability of a diverse range of employees across multiple locations. These new requirements in these industries have driven an unprecedented need for cybersecurity solutions like those offered by BIO-key.

“The partnership between BIO-key and 3Eye Technologies will be beneficial in reaching key markets like banking, financial, local government clients as well as other enterprises,” said Fred Corsentino, Chief Revenue Officer at BIO-key. “This ability to target and foster these markets will be instrumental in proliferating BIO-key’s innovative solutions across industries that need to secure essential data for their employees and customers alike.”

BIO-key will utilize 3Eye Technologies’ network of VARs and MSPs to expand the scope of its channel sales and marketing and increase market education for organizations about the benefits of IBB-based solutions. By partnering with 3Eye Technologies, BIO-key will grow its Channel Alliance Partner (CAP) program, expand the use of IBB and continue to be a thought leader in the cybersecurity space.

“We’re excited to add BIO-key to our technology products and services portfolio because its solutions address several key security concerns that affect organizations across every field,” stated Reid Estreicher, VP of Business Development, 3Eye Technologies. “Cybersecurity is obviously top of mind for every organization, and BIO-key’s IAM solutions are some of the most flexible and diverse in the industry, allowing our sales team to ‘tailor’ authentication platforms for their customers. Another key driver inspiring our partnership is the growing cyber security insurance guidelines. These new guidelines require customers to deploy multi-factor authentication to maintain their cyber security insurance coverage, or they face either a loss of coverage or significant rate increases. BIO-key is a trusted leader in this area and will help us address the organic need within the market. BIO-key is the only IAM provider that offers Identity-Bound Biometrics, which are ideally suited for 3Eye Technologies’ customers across multiple industries.”
