Thales has introduced a new tool to help businesses improve security by managing passwordless authentication more efficiently.
The OneWelcome FIDO Key Lifecycle Management solution is designed to make it easier for companies to deploy and oversee fast-identity-online (FIDO) security keys, which provide a secure alternative to passwords.
“Authentication is at the heart of securing identities and we are committed to supporting organisations securely transition to passwordless authentication,” said Danny de Vreeze, vice president of identity and access management at Thales. “This solution eliminates the barriers to smooth adoption and enables IT teams to easily manage FIDO security keys beyond just the enrollment.”
The solution integrates with Microsoft Entra ID so IT teams using Microsoft 365 can preregister keys and manage them on behalf of users.
“With FIDO2 provisioning APIs and our longstanding collaboration with Thales, we are empowering organisations to deploy phishing-resistant authentication at scale,” said Natee Pretikul, principal produce management lead at Microsoft Security.
To help businesses navigate this transition, Thales is also hosting a webinar, The Secret to Scalable FIDO Success: Simplifying Key Provisioning & Lifecycle Management in Microsoft Entra ID, on 18 February 2025.
