Intercede has collaborated with Microsoft and Yubico to enhance enterprise security and enable a stronger authentication process.

The latest version of Interecedes’ MyID CMS enables the management of Passkeys with Microsoft Entra ID.

Combining strengths

Administrators can now use the credentials management system to 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 latest version of Intercedes’ MyID CMS enables organisations to utilise the secure authentication process 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.

“Highest level of security”

Allen Storey, Chief Product Officer, said: “This collaboration represents a significant step forward in enterprise credential management.

“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,” Storey finalised.

Natee Pretikul, Principal Product Management Lead, Microsoft Security commented: “At Microsoft, we are committed to transforming enterprise security through the implementation of passkey technology with Entra ID.”

“Collaborations with industry partners”

“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,” Pretikul concluded.

Jeff Wallace, SVP Product, 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.”

“This collaboration ensures enterprises can uphold the highest security standards while simplifying credential management for both cloud and hybrid environments,” highlighted Wallace.
