For medium- and large-sized organizations that are migrating to Windows Hello for Business, it will be important to use a credential management solution system like vSEC:CMS to perform centralized issuance to manage the lifecycle of WHfB. One additional feature, vSEC:CMS will offer is the ability to load encryption certificate into WHfB.Whether using Windows Hello for Business or Versasec’s virtual smart card solutions, it’s clear that enterprises and organizations are looking to remove the use of passwords from their security playbook in favor of two factor authentication (2FA).
