Intercede Collaborates with Microsoft and Yubico to Enhance Enterprise
Security with Stronger Authentication

Intercede, a pioneering digital identity management company, today announced
the launch of its latest version of MyID CMS that enables the management of
Passkeys with Microsoft Entra ID. Administrators can now use the credentials
management system to seamlessly manage FIDO Passkeys on devices including the
Yubico YubiKey family of products, that can then be used to securely
authenticate to Entra ID protected resources.

The solution
(https://www.intercede.com/enhancing-security-with-myid-cms-v12-14-and-microsoft-entra-id-integration/)
enables organisations to use seamless, secure authentication processes by
combining the strengths of the Intercede, Yubico, and Microsoft technology
platforms. By integrating Entra ID's robust FIDO2 provisioning API's with MyID
CMS and YubiKeys, enterprises can now implement an end-to-end secure issuance
and life cycle management solution for FIDO Passkeys, whether in Cloud or
Hybrid Entra ID solutions, manage PKI and FIDO credentials on a single
YubiKey, as well as support for using a Passkey as a Derived Credential.

Key highlights of MyID 12.14 Entra ID Capabilities:

·      Compliance with NIST SP800-63B digital identity guidelines

·      Simplified FIDO passkey issuance and lifecycle management

·      Manage passkeys alongside other credential types such as
certificates

·      Applying expiry dates to passkeys - automatically revoke the
credential for fixed term workers, or for temporary passkey usage

·      Support for passkeys as a derived credential, compliant with NIST
SP800-157.

"This collaboration represents a significant step forward in enterprise
credential management," said Allen Storey, Chief Product Officer at Intercede.
"Our integrated solution enables customers to issue and manage passkeys at the
highest level of security in compliance with NIST standards, making the use of
passkeys in high-assurance environments a reality."

Natee Pretikul, Principal Product Management Lead at Microsoft Security,
commented: "At Microsoft, we are committed to transforming enterprise security
through the implementation of passkey technology with Entra ID. Our newly
developed FIDO2 provisioning APIs, coupled with collaborations with industry
partners such as Intercede and Yubico, enable us to deliver comprehensive
authentication solutions that can be deployed and managed at scale."

Jeff Wallace - SVP Product at Yubico, stated: "By integrating Yubico's trusted
hardware-based authentication in the YubiKey with Intercede's MyID CMS and
Microsoft Entra ID, we are empowering organisations to securely manage the
lifecycle of FIDO passkeys with a streamlined, end-to-end solution, that also
includes previously available authentication protocols." Wallace added: "This
collaboration ensures enterprises can uphold the highest security standards
while simplifying credential management for both cloud and hybrid
environments."

The combined solution addresses growing enterprise needs for robust, flexible,
and user-friendly phishing resistant authentication systems. By eliminating
traditional complexity in credential management, the collaboration empowers
organisations to implement more agile and secure identity verification
strategies.
