FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN- November 11, 2025

Building on the foundation laid by vSEC:CMS 7.0, which launched a mature FIDO credential management system, and Version 7.1, which focused on scaling FIDO2 batch issuance and applet reset capabilities, vSEC:CMS 7.2 delivers these functionalities in its light application version, designed to reduce helpdesk friction, ensure continuous compliance, and accelerate phishing-resistant authentication adoption.

All customers and partners can now download the new version via the support portal. New customers can book a complementary consultation with a Versasec identity expert.

“As organizations across the globe continue to invest in advanced authentication technologies, including certificate-based authentication and Passkeys through FIDO, the demand for streamlined management tools is critical,” said Joakim Thorén, Founder and CEO of Versasec. “vSEC:CMS 7.2 directly tackles complexity, which studies have shown can delay or prevent passkey implementation, by giving IT teams precise, centralized control over FIDO2 devices and automating the burdensome migration process for existing hardware, ensuring our clients can maintain continuous compliance.”

Transition of Active YubiKeys

Recognizing the growing demand for management systems (CMS) to administer YubiKeys, vSEC:CMS 7.2 introduces automated re-provisioning for a seamless transition of active YubiKeys to vSEC:CMS management. This is executed in a single, comprehensive flow, eliminating the need to individually and manually reset each device.

The automated process ensures the device’s PIV lifecycle is now managed and trackable by vSEC:CMS, which adds security and user friendliness to the device management. Specifically, this feature:

• Resets the PIV applet, including the administrative applet, the PUC (PIN Unblocking Code), and the user PINs.
• Wipes all existing keys and certificates.
• Takes over management by generating unique, “diversified” credentials for the device.
• Simultaneously generates new keys and certificates.

Expanded FIDO2 Hardware Ecosystem with Thales, Swissbit, and AuthenTrend Support

Version 7.2 introduces the management of the Thales SafeNet eToken FIDO, expanding options for enterprises seeking a robust, NFC-enabled authenticator for both mobile and desktop use. And the Swissbit iShield Key 2, a high-assurance FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified key, offering a hybrid of FIDO2, PIV, and OTP capabilities.

Complementing this expanded support, vSEC:CMS 7.2 also introduces full lifecycle management for AuthenTrend’s biometric authenticators, beginning with the ATKey.Card.NFC. This integration allows enterprises to deploy and manage this advanced FIDO2 smart card directly from vSEC:CMS. The partnership strategically enhances Versasec’s ability to serve the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific market

Centralized FIDO2 in Agent App

vSEC:CMS 7.2 addresses the security needs of the decentralized FIDO2 landscape by adding the recently introduced Versasec FIDO features for centralized management to the vSEC:CMS Agent application. Administrators can now use these tools in the vSEC:CMS Agent application:

• List and remove passkeys to effectively revoke access from lost or retired devices.
• Streamline user onboarding by initiating fingerprint enrollment.
• Perform a full FIDO2 application reset for troubleshooting or re-issuance.
