Logistics Provider ALPI Portugal Selects BIO-key for Secure Data Access, Including Multi-factor Authentication and Single Sign-On, Both Internally and for B2B
MADRID, Spain and HOLMDEL, N.J., Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIO-key International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), an innovative provider of workforce and customer identity and access management (IAM) featuring passwordless, phoneless, and token-less Identity-Bound Biometric (IBB) authentication solutions, today announced that ALPI Portugal Lda. has deployed AuthControl Sentry company-wide for enhanced data access security through BIO-key. The solution will utilize Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) access and Single Sign-on (SSO) to secure data access by all of ALPI Portugal’s internal users, including employees and third party drivers, as well as those with restricted access to their B2B website.

The primary goal of this project was to implement MFA across all company systems for enhanced security during login. Additionally, ALPI aimed to enhance the user experience by integrating SSO (Single Sign-On) with web platforms, to ensure protected B2B interactions. This integration allows and protects 24x7 tracking of deliveries from any location worldwide. BIO-key EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Asia) collaborated with ALTICE Portugal, a manager of cybersecurity projects, for this initiative. Outside of Portugal, the ALTICE Group, operates in broadband, pay television, telephony services, digital advertising, and radio networks, and has a footprint in France, Israel, the Dominican Republic and the United States, among other countries.

We now have over 1 million [seat] licenses outstanding in the critical logistics sector. Altice stands as one of our pivotal international partners, boasting over 50 engineers trained in AuthControl Sentry.
