Implement FIDO
Axiad Conductor streamlines the administration of user identities and passkeys while enabling the use of traditional digital certificates to fill the gaps in the current FIDO2 standard.
Challenges to FIDO in the Enterprise
FIDO was initially designed for consumers to securely access websites. When deployed at the enterprise level, several capabilities are missing from the FIDO2 standard that limits reporting, usability, and internal controls. For example, account enrollment and recovery, as well as passkey tracking and replacement, can be very difficult.
As a new standard, support is still inconsistent across all combinations of browsers, operating systems, and devices. For example, iOS requires a PIN for all authentications, while Android does not support a PIN for authentication. This results in wildly inconsistent user experiences and limits your ability to deploy FIDO broadly across your organization.
Many organizations still rely on protecting their most critical systems and data by using discrete infrastructures not connected to the internet. To use FIDO2 for this application is not practical, as it requires setting up your own IdP and updating all your on-prem applications to federate them to this IdP.

Related Use Cases by Industry
Financial Services
FIDO is an excellent solution to enhance security while simplifying the end-user experience by eliminating reliance on complex passwords. Specific examples of FIDO usage today include online banking, mobile banking, payment services, and access to trading platforms.
Healthcare
Security and patient confidentiality are critical requirements as medical records and health services continue to move online. FIDO can provide phishing-resistant access for health records, healthcare provider authentication, telemedicine, medical device security, etc.
Government
FIDO can help government organizations maintain robust security and meet requirements for phishing-resistant MFA, while providing a seamless user experience for both employees and citizens. Specific use cases include government employee authentication, public service portals, and digital identity verification.
