Versasec Releases New Credential Management Version – vSEC:CMS 6.12

Versasec, a global leader in IAM, announces the launch of its latest credential management system, accelerating the enterprise adoption of phishing-resistant passkeys.  Now, organizations and businesses can extend Versasec’s powerful and seamless credential management features of automation and orchestration to FIDO2 passwordless authenticators. Among the new features for Versasec FIDO2 Enterprise is the management of FIDO2 with PIN unblock, allowlist, and reset protection.

FIDO Alliance reported in late 2023 that 61% of organizations are currently using or piloting passwordless authentication. In addition, several regulations and security frameworks are encouraging enterprises to test passwordless. To meet these demands, Versasec and Microsoft’s longstanding partnership has culminated in a collaborative solution that enables enterprises to leverage the powerful capabilities of FIDO2 device-bound passkeys, along with the added benefits of comprehensive life-cycle management, centralized control, and auditability.
