FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STOCKHOLM – February 21, 2025

According to Dragos, cyberattacks targeting operational technology (OT) in the Nordic renewable energy sector are on the rise. As highlighted in their blog post, Sweden experienced a 30% increase in such incidents in 2023.

In the face of these attacks, Fortified ID solidifies its leadership in secure multi-factor authentication (MFA) by encouraging secure management of hardware bound-passkeys and certificate-based authentication (CBA), with an introduction of a credential management system in their joint offering with Versasec. Building on years of experience serving the Nordic and Northern European regions, Fortified ID is now championing this advanced authentication method.

Organisations can streamline secure access to critical systems with a new integrated solution combining Fortified ID and Versasec vSEC:CMS. This partnership enables robust, phishing-resistant multifactor authentication and single sign-on through a unified portal. With vSEC:CMS, employees can be issued virtual or physical credentials, such as smart cards, USB tokens, or FIDO authenticators. These credentials are then used, allowing users to authenticate once via FortifiedID Integrity Access and gain access to all applications and systems, avoiding repeated login prompts.

This integration accelerates user login while significantly enhancing security by eliminating the risk associated with traditional authentication. The demonstration of Fortified ID and Versasec integration is available here: https://youtu.be/KU6jdRBQdog.

 “I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Fortified ID team members before and I am excited to get the chance to do so again. I think our products complement each other perfectly and together we can deliver a very robust cybersecurity cornerstone for organisations in the Nordics,” said Joakim Thorén, Versasec CEO.

Versasec’s vSEC:CMS credential management system enables organizations to achieve robust security while simplifying certificate and hardware-bound passkey management for both IT administrators and end-users.  Its no-code, easy-to-use workflows and automation platform streamline identity management, enabling companies to meet their unique security needs and surpass the demands of today’s evolving security landscape.

“Together, Fortified ID and Versasec deliver a future-proof solution that meets today and tomorrows standards for digital trust and identity assurance, helping enterprises protect their digital assets in an increasingly complex cybersecurity environment.” said Anders Andrén, CEO.
