Breaking down the barriers between identity , security , and device management , Beyond Identity fundamentally changes the way the world logs in – eliminating passwords and providing users with a frictionless , multifactor login experience .

“ A passwordless identity management solution , like Beyond Identity , replaces passwords with asymmetric cryptography that employs public / private key pairs and creates a FIDO-based phishing-resistant authentication process ,” said Jermoluk when he spoke with Technology Magazine earlier this year . “ Users are authenticated by proving they possess the enrolled device and that it is bound to the user ’ s identity .

“ Establishing high trust in the user and the device , plus the ability to ensure devices meet appropriate security controls before and after initial access , is a cornerstone of a Zero Trust model – especially for modern network architectures where the identity has become the new perimeter .

“ Even if you did all the other pieces of Zero Trust perfectly , unless you establish user identity and trust in the device , the effort will fail .”
