Passwords alone have long been insufficient to properly protect business accounts. Traditional forms of multi-factor authentication, such as SMS codes or authenticator apps, also do not always provide enough protection in practice against phishing, social engineering, and account misuse. As a result, organisations are looking for a safer and more user-friendly way to give employees access to systems and applications.
The challenge
Many organisations want to improve the security of their login processes, but they face the same questions. How do you prevent employees from becoming victims of phishing? How do you reduce the risk of account misuse? And how do you do that without burdening users with complicated steps or additional management overhead?
In practice, passwords often remain weak, are reused, or are compromised through phishing. Even an additional verification step via phone or app does not always offer sufficient protection. Especially in organisations where access to Microsoft environments, cloud applications, and sensitive data must be properly secured, the need for stronger authentication is growing.
The solution: FIDO2 cards
FIDO2 cards provide a modern and phishing-resistant way to authenticate. Instead of relying solely on a password or a code on a phone, the employee uses a physical card as a secure authentication factor. This makes it much more difficult for attackers to gain access to accounts, even when they attempt to deceive users.
For organisations, this offers a strong combination of security and ease of use. Employees can log in more simply and securely, while IT departments gain greater control over access security.
Why this matters for organisations
Moving to stronger authentication is not only a technical improvement, but also a logical step in addressing broader security and compliance challenges. Organisations are taking a closer look at access management, identity security, and reducing risks around user accounts. That is exactly why interest in FIDO2 solutions is growing.
FIDO2 cards are relevant for organisations that want to:
- reduce phishing risks
- provide safer login for business accounts and cloud applications
- implement a tangible and manageable authentication solution
- gain more certainty around access to sensitive systems and data
ScreenCheck supports organisations with FIDO2 solutions
At ScreenCheck, we provide FIDO2 cards for organisations that want to strengthen their authentication processes. For organisations looking to combine strong authentication with broader card functionality, we also offer FIDO2 combination cards that bring together secure passwordless login with uses such as physical access control, identification, and other smart card-based applications in a single credential. We do not only advise on the product itself, but also on how it can be applied within the organisation, the desired user experience, and how it fits into existing IT environments.
Whether it concerns an initial exploration, a quotation request, or a solution for larger-scale deployment, we are happy to help organisations find the right FIDO2 solution.
