Just next level: A new tech partnerships intertwine physical and cyber protection

Posted

A new Identity-tech partnership is ready to make the Cyber world safer. One specialized in Memory and storage hardware, the other Identity online protection, as tech “mind and body” are ready to give you the full treatment. Two up-and-coming identity protection solutions are almost here to give you a better cyber shield. Perfectly suited for the rigid needs of US federal agencies. Combining the splendid capabilities of RSA® ID plus system with Swissbit’s exquisite Hardened Hardware- are you ready to put your Cyber armor on? Identity-first is much more than a slogan.

Level up: memory tech manufacturer and Visionary Swissbit and security-first identity leader RSA have announced earlier this month of the introduction of its next-generation hardware authenticators RSA iShield Key 2 series powered by Swissbit, alongside RSA® ID Plus solution. Especially designed for governmental functions, services and agencies- this series was built to meet the highest security standards. Thus, the RSA iShield Key 2 and the RSA iShield Key 2 Pro are equipped with FIDO2, Personal Identification Verification, Hash-based message authentication-based One Time Password (HOTP) support and a FIPS 140-3 certified smart chip. Not solely available for US federal agencies, these solutions are ready to be used by systems integrators, government contractors  and the private sector which are in a need for a AAL3 hardware authenticator that meets Executive Order 14028, OMB M-22-09, and OMB M-24-14 standards. The RSA iShield Key 2 series will already be available by the end of this year.

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) will be readily available with this secure, user friendly solutions. As with capabilities such as Identity governance and administration (IGA) and lifecycle capabilities, via RSA® Governance & Lifecycle, Machine learning-driven, contextual authentication made possible by the RSA® Risk AI and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) made great by the RSA Authenticator App (the RSA DS100) and the RSA iShield Key 2 series powered by Swissbit- this is truly your key for a safer cyber future. Not only that,  FedRAMP-authorized access and cloud service will be available through the RSA® ID Plus for Government. Talk about protection.

Strict federal regulations approved, these RSA iShield Key 2 Series provide the best security capabilities for Sensitive data and critical infrastructure protection. Received by the constant link of a secure supply chain, these Multi FACTOR Authentication (MFA) solutions provide updates and management of your critical protection. High status and high-risk environments be assured, this Swissbit-RSA combo solution provides you the best Phishing resistant secure access option with its FIDO Passkey and PIV smart card functionality. Making it the idle choice for Healthcare, Energy, financial, government and other sectors that have a dire need for capable Identity protection.

Ensuring unnoticed integration and compatibility, RSA customers can use the RSA iShield Key 2 series as either a FIDO Passkey or an OATH OTP to authenticate into any RSA ID Plus platforms (designated for the wider public or for governments) which feature single sign-on (SSO), identity verification, and other applications across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises resources. This seamless integration can be further felt as even for those who have a former PIV infrastructure can use the RSA iShield Key 2 series for PIV-derived credentials. Both companies will support their customers with comprehensive training and support services to ensure smooth integration and implementation.

Silvio Muscher, Swissbit AG CEO, has stated that the combination of the tech designers’ technologies “will enable organizations to implement strong, phishing resistant authentication mechanisms that are not only user-friendly but also highly resilient to modern cyberattacks”

Fed up with lack of protection?
