Windows Hello for Business

vSEC:CMS unleashes the full potential of Microsoft's next generation of virtual smart card, Windows Hello for Business (WHfB). While WHfB can be used "as is" for basic Windows logon use, vSEC:CMS allows users to fully leverage its capabilities for strong authentication (2FA) and PKI. WHfB is available from Microsoft Windows 10.

A Virtual Smart Card (VSC) enables two-factor authentication (2FA) on a user's device without making use of extra hardware, such as smart card readers and USB tokens. VSCs are excellent for protecting companies' IT systems from external threats such as hacking and other unauthorized access from external devices. Versasec's vSEC:CMS has long supported VSCs and now it also supports Windows Hello for Business!

Product Information

Once the Microsoft WHfB infrastructure has been enabled in the environment, it is quick and simple to issue user credentials to it using the award winning vSEC:CMS credential management system - as is displayed in the short video below.
