Presidio Identity achieves FIDO Certification and announces availability of new products

The new product releases include the newly FIDO Certified Presidio Identity Authentication Server, as well as tools for developers and operations, and a Digital Identity Adopters Program to ensure successful passwordless authentication projects

Presidio Identity, Inc., a San Francisco Bay Area-based digital identity solutions company, has announced its FIDO Certification, solidifying its position as a leading provider of secure and reliable authentication solutions for modern digital businesses.  The certification was obtained via a rigorous process of development, functional ("conformance") testing, interoperability testing, and then a final certification review.  This means that customers and their users can expect secure and convenient sign-ons for web sites and apps - without passwords.

FIDO Certification

FIDO Authentication is based on industry standards set by the FIDO Alliance, an organization dedicated to promoting the adoption of simple, phishing-resistant authentication.  Presidio Identity's certification validates its commitment to developing innovative solutions that enable businesses to protect their users' identities and data, while providing a secure and convenient user experience.   FIDO Certification for FIDO2 version 2.1 signifies that Presidio Identity Authentication Server is fully compliant with the latest standard introduced by the FIDO Alliance.

"We are thrilled to have received FIDO Certification," said Dennis Moore, CEO of Presidio Identity.  "This certification means that our customers and their users can expect secure and convenient sign-ons for web sites and apps for the first time.  Your customers will love FIDO authentication - it works with the devices and browsers they already use, is much more secure than legacy multi-factor authentication, and is a faster and simpler way to login."

Business Benefits of FIDO-based Passwordless Authentication

FIDO authentication is better for your business - the security that FIDO authentication brings improves customer satisfaction, compliance with emerging privacy and data
protection standards, and lowers costs.

More secure: FIDO authentication is more secure than traditional login approaches, including those employing "legacy MFA." FIDO-based passwordless authentication protects user accounts from account takeovers, meaning that the business will not lose money, customers, or reputation due to fraudulent account access.

Better compliance: FIDO2 utilizes multifactor authentication employing cryptography and biometrics.  Because of the strength of this approach, FIDO-based passwordless authentication is considered to be strong authentication, and is compliant with important privacy, data protection, and banking regulations including GDPR, CCPA, PSD2, and more.

Lower cost: FIDO solutions can eliminate passwords, and reduce costs related to passwords.  These costs include contact center support for password resets, and messaging fees to send one-time passcodes by text-message, phone, or email.   FIDO's strong authentication improves account security, resulting in lower cyber insurance costs, potential fines for failure to protect customer data, and lower customer churn due to confidence in your organization's cybersecurity.   Because FIDO authentication is a paradigm change in cybersecurity, from shared secrets to cryptographic protection, businesses get better security at a lower cost.

Ubiquitous: Virtually every modern device, operating system, and browser supports FIDO authentication. Using our technology, your web and mobile apps can have FIDO2 support built-in.  Microsoft, Apple, and Google have announced - and shipped - products across their product lines with FIDO support.  FIDO authentication is now available (virtually) everywhere, and your customers will expect your apps to use FIDO for authentication.

"Presidio Identity's FIDO certification speaks to its commitment to simpler, stronger authentication and our shared vision of a passwordless future. They join a growing FIDO ecosystem dedicated to increasing security while lowering user friction," said Andrew Shikiar, executive director and CMO of the FIDO Alliance.

Presidio Identity Digital Identity Adopters Program

Presidio Identity is also announcing the launch of its Digital Identity Adopters Program.  This program is designed to provide businesses with the tools and resources they need to succeed with passwordless authentication and other digital identity projects.  The program includes access to Presidio Identity's suite of APIs and SDKs, dedicated support from the company's team of experts, and direct input into the future of Presidio Identity's products.

"We recognize that every business is unique and has different digital identity needs," said Moore.  "Our Digital Identity Adopters Program is designed to provide businesses with the technology, expertise, and collaboration necessary to innovate the future of identity."
