Ensurity Technologies, a Hyderabad-based cybersecurity company and a member of Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, has announced its second FIDO2 (Fast Identity Online) offering.

Ensurity, which has already optimised its ThinC-AUTH to work with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) sign-ins, has now combined the ‘strong FIDO2 authentication’ with ‘encrypted storage’ in its new solution ‘ThinC AUTH+’.

In a statement, the company said the new solution has been developed to provide the convenience of user biometric authentication along with encrypted data storage facility.

Last October, Ensurity had emerged the first Indian cybersecurity firm to join the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, a group of technology providers who have integrated their solutions with Microsoft products to provide customers with better protection, detection and response.

Ensurity Technologies, a Hyderabad-based cybersecurity solutions company, has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, a group of technology providers that integrated their solutions with Microsoft products to provide customers better protection, detection, and response.

“We are working with Microsoft for the last two years to integrate its ThinC brand of FIDO/FIDO2 certified biometric USB authenticators for passwordless access with Microsoft Azure Active Directory,” an Ensurity Technology statement has said.

The Azure Active Directory users can sign in password-free using a FIDO2 security key, the Microsoft Authenticator app, or Windows Hello. User biometrics are securely stored within the device, while FIDO2 standard protocol is used to further authenticate the device to the server apps.

“Joining MISA gives Ensurity tech the opportunity to strengthen its integrations with a wide range of Microsoft solutions and address the diverse security needs of customers globally,” Amit Mathur, COO of Ensurity Technologies, said.

Hyderabad-based Ensurity Technologies, an innovative cybersecurity company, is introducing the first-of-its-kind range of secure USB devices under the ‘ThinC’ brand in India. These devices are loaded with the most advanced security features -- biometric authentication, touch sensors, portable and encrypted storage, multi-user access, and remote access from a clean operating system and computing machine.

ThinC will cater to the security needs of sectors like BFSI, large consultancy firms and enterprises; or any entity or activity that is dependent on remote access. The technology behind the smart ThinC USB devices has been developed at Ensurity’s research center located in Hyderabad. Significantly, these devices utilize advanced biometric touch-sensors made by the globally-leading Fingerprint Cards of Sweden, with whom Ensurity has a strategic collaboration.

Sweden’s Fingerprints & Card, a global leader in biometrics, announces its strategic collaboration with Ensurity Technologies, an innovative cybersecurity company, to bring advanced solutions to the Indian and global cybersecurity market.

The companies are working closely to integrate their respective technological strengths to bring the first-of-their-kind smart USB devices to the global markets. Ensurity has been working in the cybersecurity space over the past seven years. Advanced biometric touch sensors from Fingerprints will be incorporated into Ensurity's secure USB devices and launched under the "ThinC" brand by the end of June.
