Manage Hardware Authenticators at Scale
Streamline the roll-out, administration, and support of all your authentication devices from a single point of control using the advanced automation features from Axiad.
Challenges of Using Hardware Authenticators
Upgrading to USB keys and smart cards requires significant enhancements to your back-end authentication systems to support FIDO2/webauthn or X.509 certificates, and usually both. This additional encryption infrastructure can be expensive, complex and require specialized expertise to implement and maintain correctly.
Using hardware tokens means managing the deployment and provisioning of the authenticators, enrolling credentials, tracking and reporting usage, and supporting account recovery and renewals. Without a credential management system, administrators often resort to manual recording via spreadsheets. This mistake-prone process can place a huge burden on IT staff requiring additional people and training.
There can be significant end-user resistance and confusion when switching to hardware tokens for authentication. Poorly executed rollout plans often result in end-user frustration and loss of productivity as they struggle to reestablish their access to corporate resources.
