Axiad CBA for IAM allows organizations to amplify authentication capabilities that are often built into their existing IAM systems for an improved cybersecurity posture. In addition, CBA for IAM helps organizations achieve unified passwordless authentication since it can supplement multiple IAM ecosystems in a consolidated fashion, increase IT efficiencies and improve the end-user experience by reducing friction in a passwordless authentication model.

Hosted on AWS, Axiad provides a trusted, proven authentication solution that has been battle tested for more than a dozen years, and which is delivered as a cloud-based solution with 99.9% availability. Customers can also leverage AWS Professional Services to help configure, deploy and manage Axiad CBA for IAM. Additionally, Axiad supports and provides private offers – one-to-one sales negotiations – through AWS Marketplace to address customers' specific needs.

"With Axiad CBA for IAM, we're helping organizations fortify their existing IAM and AWS investments by adding enterprise-grade passwordless and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) to what they already have for even-better protection," said Karen Larson, vice president of technology and partnership strategy. "In addition, the product not only provides a vastly improved user experience by eliminating the need for users to remember complex passwords, but it also offers material operational benefits by providing enhanced visibility and streamlined processes."

Axiad CBA for IAM delivers an additional layer of security by enabling users to present a digital certificate, validated by asymmetric cryptography, that is highly resistant to compromise throughout the environment. Organizations can create a more systematic approach to managing authenticators and credentials across their lifecycles, without changing how the system authenticates its end users. In addition, Axiad CBA for IAM simplifies formerly complex processes with unique capabilities, including self-service account recovery plus improved rollout and usage tracking of credentials.

Together, Axiad and AWS can help solve customers' security challenges and accelerate their journey to passwordless authentication. For more information about CBA for IAM, which can also be purchased directly through Axiad, read the datasheet and visit Axiad's listing in AWS Marketplace here.
