New solution allows Enterprises to accelerate and secure passwordless implementation by managing FIDO* security passkeys at scale simply and efficiently
Provides full control of the entire FIDO key lifecycle to IT and facilitates accelerated FIDO adoption
Thales, the leading global technology and security provider, today announced the launch of OneWelcome FIDO Key Lifecycle Management, a new solution to help large organizations successfully deploy and manage FIDO security passkeys at scale. This announcement reflects Thales's commitment to provide its customers with a seamless and secure passwordless journey.
OneWelcome FIDO Key Lifecycle Management combines an interoperable management platform with Thales hardware FIDO security keys (passkeys) specifically designed by Thales for use in large organizations. The solution helps CISOs accelerate and secure their passwordless journey by managing FIDO security keys at scale, in a simple and efficient way, throughout their lifecycle. In addition, CISOs benefit from the ultimate Thales expertise in cyber security and in complex projects.
Danny de Vreeze, Vice President, Identity & Access Management at Thales, said: Authentication is at the heart of securing identities and we are committed to supporting organizations securely transition to passwordless authentication. This solution eliminates the barriers to smooth adoption and enables IT teams to easily manage FIDO security keys beyond just the enrollment. The OneWelcome FIDO Key Lifecycle Management solution is a crucial part of our Passwordless 360 approach that encourages organizations to deploy passwordless at scale and reap its strategic benefits.
FIDO security keys are the gold standard for protecting the enterprise from phishing attacks, but cumbersome self-registration and lifecycle management processes often lead to user frustration, IT overheads and delayed passwordless authentication deployment.
Thanks to unique capabilities, this new solution, allows IT teams to quickly preregister keys and manage them easily and securely from enrollment to revocation. By relieving end users from these processes, the OneWelcome FIDO Key Lifecycle Management solution improves end-user productivity, accelerates FIDO authentication deployment at scale and secures the entire FIDO key lifecycle.
Andrew Shikiar, Executive Director and CEO at The FIDO Alliance, said: The FIDO Alliance's mission is to reduce the world's reliance on passwords with simpler, stronger authentication. As an active board member of The FIDO Alliance, Thales underscores that mission by supporting a wider deployment of FIDO standards via its device-bound passkey Management Solution - with the added bonus of full key lifecycle management.
The interoperable management platform is integrated via FIDO2 provisioning API's to Microsoft Entra ID which enables organizations to pre-register Thales FIDO keys on behalf of their end users.
Thanks to this integration, Enterprises adopting Microsoft 365 can provide secure and seamless authentication to their users from day one. Thales confirms its position as an Identity Trailblazer won at the 2024 Microsoft Security Excellence Awards in recognition of its innovative IAM solutions.
Natee Pretikul, Principal Product Management Lead at Microsoft Security, said: With FIDO2 provisioning APIs and our longstanding collaboration with Thales, we are empowering organizations to deploy phishing-resistant authentication at scale. By pre-registering end users for a passkey (FIDO2) credential, we enable them to use phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication methods more quickly.
*The FIDO Alliance is an open industry association with a focused mission: reduce the world's reliance on passwords. To accomplish this, the FIDO Alliance promotes the development of, use of, and compliance with standards for authentication and device attestation.
